Runners in the GPT 100 Miler may have pacers accompany them on course from Borough Huts Campground (72km) to the finish. Runners may have different, the same, or no pacers for each of the following pacing legs. Note, the maximum Pacing Legs ONE pacer can do is TWO Legs, ie. one person cannot pace all three legs.

There are three 'Pacing Legs':

• LEG 1: Borough Huts (72km) to Jimmy Creek Rd (106km) {34km, 2035m+, 2010m-}

• LEG 2: Jimmy Creek Rd (106km) to Cassidys Gap (140.5km) {34.5km, 1470m+, 1420m-}

• LEG 3: Cassidys Gap (140.5km) to Finish (162km) {21.5km, 1105m+, 1215m-}

Prices

Each pacer is required to register and pay an entry fee (the runner that is racing can do this for their pacers by registering for them in Race Roster). This will cover insurance and aid station supply. This can be paid through the online registration. All Pacer’s details must be accurate in the system by 17 November!

• LEG 1: $30 p/pacer

• LEG 2: $30 p/pacer

• LEG 3: $30 p/pacer

Pacer Rules:

• Pacers for the Miler runners must be registered in Race Roster for the correct leg/legs that they will be running by 17 November. This is important so that we have the details and medical background for everyone out on course and we know who exactly is running and when.

• A Pacer can only pace up to 2 legs. We do not want the added risk of having a pacer essentially running an incredibly hard Ultra on the back half of the course. We have included Pacers in the race to increase safety for our runners, especially through the night.

• Pacers must carry the same mandatory gear required by the 100-mile runners.

• Except for a medical emergency, Pacers are not allowed to carry any gear, food or drink for their Miler runner to use or consume. They are only there to help with navigation, safety and encouragement.

• Pacers can only join their Runners at the designated aid station for each pacing leg start.

• A runner can only ever be accompanied by ONE Pacer on a Leg. Pacers are intended to increase the safety of our event by having someone to navigate and assist a runner mentally to avoid poor choices with nutrition, hydration and cliff danger. Having more than one Pacer would simply add to the overall risk of our event by adding more people to our duty of care and potentially more humans that could need assistance from our medical team.

An “Aid Station Drop Bag” service will be managed by a team of volunteers from the Event Village in Halls Gap.

The Aid Stations where these Drop Bags will be made available will be via the Major Aid Stations of Halls Gap, Mt William Carpark, Griffin Fireline, and the Finish in Dunkeld.

Athletes are requested to provide all gear in their own labelled, insulated, zipped “Woolworths-type” bag where practical. Please clearly identify it with your bib number and the appropriate Aid Station (as above).

Drop Bags will be able to be dropped in Halls Gap Event Village between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM Thursday and 8:00 AM and 10:00 AMFriday.

Shuttle Buses will be available for runners to the start line in Mt Zero. Runners MUST BOOK on Race Roster if they require a seat for Friday.

Miler runners will be able to book these for free. Spectators who want to book can do so for $30. Booking open until sold out!

GPT100 Miler will also have shuttles provided to bring them back to Halls Gap from the finish line at Dunkeld. These will be rolling shuttles running the entire finishing window. These do not have to be booked.
