Everything you need to know before you enter the Great Naseby Water Race
The Naseby Forest including the recreation area is privately owned by Ernslaw One Ltd. Please treat the tracks and facilities provided with respect.
Be aware that there may be other track users on bikes or with dogs - so be courteous.
It is dark from approximately 5pm - 7am. For races that start before 7am runners must use a headlight until 7am. For races starting on Wednesday and Friday, runners will need headlamps from 6pm through until 7am. Cold weather drains batteries so make sure you have spares.
Please don't litter, we are trying to reduce our carbon footprint so please try to use drink bottles.

We are at the mercy of the weather so equip yourself accordingly. Please be aware that unfortunately dogs are no longer allowed to accompany runners on the course. Dogs on leads are still welcome at the event.
Please ensure that you fix your number on your front - if the officials don't see it you will not be credited with the lap, they will be sitting on your left as you complete each lap.
This is an Ultra event so if you have done a marathon before this is within your capabilities.
Retain your sense of humour, you paid to do this, don't be crabby with Officials, Aid Station people, or your own support crews, we are here to help you.
