Mandatory Gear
All Runners must bring their mandatory Gear to the bib collection at Centenary Hall to have it checked.
The Grampians Peaks Trail, despite the beautifully curated trails, is legitimate wilderness. Therefore, you will be required to carry mandatory items and these will be defined as your minimum items.
SingleTrack Events will add to this any further items if the weather anticipated demands it so to manage most effectively your safety and that of our crew.
On Course Gear Checks
The GPT50k will be checked once on course for two(2) pieces of mandatory gear. You will be penalised 30 minutes for one missing item or disqualified for two missing items
The Stage Race will be checked once on course each day for two(2) pieces of mandatory gear. You will be penalised 30 minutes for one missing item or disqualified for two missing items.
The Miler will be checked 4 times on course for one item at a time. You will be penalised 30 minutes for one missing item or disqualified for missing a second item.

TELSTRA SIM
All Runners in the GPT100 Miler, Stage Race, 50k and Team Relays will require a Telstra SIM. if you don’t have Telstra, go to a nearby supermarket or newsagent and pick up a cheap pre paid Telstra SIM. We have tested and Telstra simply works much better along the GPT100 route, ask any local as well. It is part of our risk management that all runners have one to improve our communications with you out on course. We will not accept any Third Party Providers that use the Telstra Network except Boost. Boost is the ONLY provider that is allowed to use the entire Telstra Network. Examples of providers we will not accept: Belong, Aldi, Exetel, Tangerine and more.
AVENZA MAPS
It is important that everyone download the AVENZA Map for their race before the Event. Along with having the gpx file in your watch, this is the best thing to allow you to get back on course if you are unsure where you are. Course tampering does happen, or people miss a turn easily in trail running. So you need to have a map to know where you are.
Download the AVENZA Map App to your phone and in the Store search for the Keywords “GPT100 2025”. Then click “Free” next to the maps you need and it will download the map for offline use on your phone. If you open the map, as long as you have enabled AVENZA to use your location, you will be able to locate where you are on the map and which way you are facing by clicking the little arrow. You can open and use this map even with no reception.
When you have the map open, have a play around. It is very useful. You can see the coordinates of the pointer down the bottom of the screen as you pan around the map. You can also press the draw icon in the bottom left to measure the distance between points.
Miler Runners are encouraged to download the 50k map and all the Stages 2-4 as well as the Miler map. They have greater detail and are more usable. The full Miler map is good for generally checking where you are on the route and seeing the elevation profile.
