Changes to the CPTU
Clohesy Fig Tree to become Emergency Water Stop
We’ve reviewed our Check Points and with the hope that we can gain better ITRA ranking, removed one of the Check Points from the CPTU120 and CPTU40.
Check Point 1, Clohesy Fig Tree will no longer be a check point, it will become an Emergency Water Stop. There will be a timing mat, water stationed there for you.
The first check point will be CP1 Speewah, around 26km into the event. This will be a full check point with supplies but still no support crew is allowed.
Another change is that the CPTU80 will now start at 07:00am
CPTU80 Start 07:00am
Another change is that the CPTU80 will now start at 07:00am, this is to avoid high tide for the runners for the CPTU80, all runners should make it along the beach before 19:00pm, before the beach closes for the event due to the Crocodile Risk.
CPTU10 Beach Smash - Starts 06:00am
The CPTU10 starts at 06:00am, this is to ensure that runners will make it along the beach on hard sand and avoid running while it is a high tide. This will also mean that sunrise is at 06:38am, and you may need a head torch.
