We know a HUGE percentage of you are flying in from out of the region and may not make the Adventure Equipment Australia Deadline. That’s okay; just come to the start line of your event, and we will have your pack ready to go for you. Leave ample time for collection as we prefer that everyone picks up their packs the week before the event because our staff is focused on the safety and logistics of the event on Race Day. If you can make it into Cairns, please grab your pack before race day to avoid the stressful long wait times before you start your event, especially if you are collecting a GPS Tracker.

Organising an event on the scale of the Cairns Port Douglas Trail Ultra is only possible if all runners follow the safety rules of the event. One key rules is;

ALL RUNNERS IN CPTU120, CPTU80, CPTU40, CPTU20 are required to carry a High Vis Saftey Vest at ALL Times during their race. You are required to put this on whenever moving along the roads, including the footpaths. These Sections include;

• Speewah Rd - CP1

• Stoney Creek Rd Kamerunga - CP2

• Wrights Lookout Rd WS2 - Black Mountain Rd Dirt Track National Park Entrance.

• CP5 Bottom The Bump Track - Mitre St Beach Walkway.

All Runners must follow this rule as it is part of our Police Permit for the events. Any runner found on the course not wearing their High Vis Vest will be disqualified and pulled from the course.

Drop Bags and Finish Line Bags.

All Drop Bags and Finish Line Bags are required to be dropped off at the following times to allow for our logistics team to deliver all the items around the course;

Crystal Cascades Starters, CPTU120, CPTU40 - 04:00 am

Kamerunga, CPTU20, CPTU80 - 06:00 am This means that if you are a CPTU20 Runner and you’d like a bag at the finish line, you MUST drop your finish line bag at 06:00 am. If you’ve arranged a transfer, please contact Shona to change from the CPTU20 to the CPTU80 Transfer.

Safety is our top priority at the Cairns Port Douglas Trail Ultra and is why we supply GPS trackers to the CPTU40, CPTU80 and CPTU120 Runners as part of their entry. If you are in another event you can hire one, jump on our website, you have until Friday 26th of August to complete all your shop items.

The collection of GPS Trackers will be at the Start Line of each event. If you’d like your photo to be connected to your profile online, please come to registration WITH YOUR BIB to take your photo with Track Me Live’s GPS Tracker Registration Camera.

Returning your GPS Tracker is also essential. They are expensive items and Track Me Live charges $300.00 for every unreturned tracker. At the finish line, there will be a collection box for you to place your tracker in.

If you withdraw from the CPTU, return your track to the Checkpoint with DNF at.

Cairns Port Douglas Trail Ultra is proud to be one of the 1st events to test the Onetime Timing Foot Pod. Every race pack will include one of these pods. They are reusable and environmentally friendly and will also be collected at the finish line or DNF Checkpoint for each event. Please remember to return these items to avoid a $70.00 Loss of Foot Pod charge.

TRANSFERS - FRIDAY 26th AUGUST IS THE LAST DAY YOU CAN ORDER YOUR TRANSFER

Now onto the FUN Stuff. It’s time to get your mates 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃 involved. Enter your pacer for the final section of the course. The Bump Track to the Finish Line and enjoy sharing your experience with your family and friends. Elites are only allowed 1 pacer per Runner, but those running for fun we are happy for you to have as many pacers as you like. They will be required to have a High Vis Vest and a Head Torch and carry all the equipment for the CPTU20 runners.

We’ve let them know that our event is on, and they will be expecting orders from you.

Last but not least, we’ve been asked by our medical team to move CP5 - The Bump Track from the TOP of The Bump Track Black Mountain Rd to the BOTTOM of The Bump Track on Connolly Rd Mowbray. We are still waiting for confirmation for this change in CP5 Locations. The reason for this is to improve runner safety on the course, adding in an extra official WS4 TOP The Bump Track. We will have QAS Ambulance roaming Black Mountain Rd Between Quaid Rd and Top - The Bump Track Track head. We will then have another Medical personnel Stationed at the Bottom - The Bump Track, checking each runner as they go pass. This is also where you will be asked to wear your High Vis Vest.

Moving CP5 off the range will also assist in improving the safety of the Runner’s Support Crew and Event staff for the duration of the event and also streamline the logistics for the event and the runner’s support crews.

As soon as we have confirmation that we can move this CP5, We will send out a communication regarding this. We know your pacer may want to have the extra distance on their legs, but they are more than welcome to start at the Top of the Bump Track with you if you’ve already entered them.

Between now and the Start of the event we are busy with crucial final details of organising the event, we ask that you keep the emails to a minimum. Much of the information can be found on the website under the Info Bar. We will be adding the Track Me Live GPS Tracking Button, Onetime Live Tracking Button to the Home Page once we have those links next week.

Great! 👍 We are looking forward to meeting you in just over a week. If you’d like to Become a Legend and be part of the action, please email us, as we need sweepers, medal awardees, marshals, forerunners, logistical drivers and Check Point Support Volunteers across the course and we’d love to hear from you.
