Mandatory Gear

All Runners including Pacers 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.

ALL RACES WILL BE CHECKED AT ONE AID STATION OUT ON COURSE FOR TWO(2) PIECES OF MANDATORY GEAR. YOU WILL BE STOPPED FOR 30 MINUTES ON COURSE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE EITHER OF THESE PIECES.

*All Runners in the GPT100 Miler, Stage Race, 50k and Team Relays will require a Telstra SIM. This is not as hard as it sounds. Just go to a nearby supermarket, which is not ALDI (ALDI Telstra does not work as well), and pick up a cheap Telstra SIM. We have tested and Telstra simply works much better along the GPT100 route. 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.
