Drop bags

Gpt100 Miler (Solo and Pairs)

An “Aid Station Drop Bag” service will be managed by a team of volunteers from the Event Village in Halls Gap.

Athletes are requested to provide all gear in their own labelled, insulated, zipped “Woolworths-type” bag where practical. Please clearly identify it with your bib number and the appropriate Aid Station (as above).

Drop Bags will be able to be dropped in Halls Gap Event Village at Registration and Bib Collection on Thursday.

IMPORTANT: Halls Gap and Jimmy Creek Camp

Your Drop Bag for Halls Gap and Jimmy Creek Camp is the same, ONE BAG. We are going to move all of the Halls Gap drop bags down to Jimmy Creek Camp at 8pm on Friday after the Halls Gap cut off.

We are doing this for your convenience. Now you can pack your best pair of spare shoes, or change of clothes in this bag, with the chance it being where you need it doubled.

List of Bags options for the Miler

  • Drop Bag 1: Halls Gap and Jimmy Creek Camp

  • Drop Bag 2: Mt William Carpark

  • Drop Bag 3: Griffin Fireline
