CREW

FAQ

  • NO! New to 2025 is that we are not allowing people to drive up to the start line and park. Every runner in the 42k and Grand Slams MUST pay for and catch the shuttle to the Start line from the Event Village at Pioneer Park in Bright. Shuttles have a rolling departure from 5:20am Sunday.

    We have had many requests from some people who get car sick that they drive themselves, so we have a solution. Runners and Crew will be able to Drive and Park at Dingo Dell.

    Dingo Dell has a large carpark on the Mount Buffalo Tourist Rd. Crew can park here with their runners and catch a rolling shuttle to the start line. SingleTrack will provide a regular shuttle service between Dingo Dell and the Start Line at the Chalet (8 min drive) between 6:15 am and 7:00 am.

    Then Crew will be able to return to their cars via a rolling shuttle between The Chalet and Dingo Dell between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM.

    This option of driving and parking at Dingo Dell is open to everyone, however there is limited parking so we highly encourage people to catch the shuttle bus.
