Recon Runs of the 100th Run course
As the run course for the Long Course at the Scorcher 100th event and the Wellington Half is located on private property it means there are limited options to access the full course for practice runs prior to the event day.
Therefore we have sought special permissions to gain access to this land on two additional days to offer you a practice run prior to event day. This is only available to those who have already entered into the Wellington Half or the Scorcher Long Course for Jan 24th . And is limited to a small number of runners.
The test group runs will occur on Saturday Dec 26th and January 9th (4 weeks and 2 weeks out).
Please note that you should consider these two opportunities a recon action and familiarisation run, not a race. We will be doing this course together in a group, re-grouping at various points.
The key area that we only have access for is from Shelly Bay up to Mt Crawford Prison for a limited time period only each time – please respect the landowners rights and stay out of this area otherwise! Thank you.
If you want to come on these recon group runs, you must:
- Be registered in advance for the Wellington Half or the Scorcher Long course to be held on Jan 24th
- Email the Angels (angel@scorching.co.nz) and request to be added to the group run list (both dates are limited in numbers)
- You then will need to report to Scorching Bay on the morning of your group run for 9:30am to sign in and be assigned to groups and hear the briefing
We will do one lap of the run course together, regrouping at various points around the course before continuing. We should be finished the lap by 11:30am.
