    Hi,

    hi, what time will the 15km race start?

  • M Oliver

    Another great Bay to Bay. Thanks for organising the cool weather!!
    Just one negative – there were not enough toilets at the start. I stood in a Q for half an hour and made the start by 2 minutes and the the Q was still stretching down the road.

      Hi Moira,
      Thanks for the positive comments. We had arranged for the City Council to provide us with the keys to public toilets, but unfortunately the official concerned did no pass this on to the guy in charge of the toilets. We did have 8 mobile toilets at Maidens Cove as well as the toilets at Glen Country club. However, we will take your comments on board and try to do better next year.

      Best wishes

    Hi, i did not get my 30km medal as i was told there were no more, even though i finished well within the 1600 finishers mark and in a time of just over 3 hrs….can i swap the 15km relay medal i got instead? other than that disapointment, a great race! Perhaps more prizes next time, esp given the popularity of this race? Regards, Llew

    • Cynthia Hayward

      Hi Lew,
      Thanks for your positive comments. Yes, we were also disappointed that we couldn’t give a medal to all the finishers, but we were simply not prepared for the extra 500 runners. We are having more medals made and will send these to the clubs, along with a list of the finishers for each club. If you don’t belong to a club, please give me your contact details and we will try and get a medal to you when they arrive (in about 4 weeks time).

      regards

    Hi there

    Thank you for a great race. I think the extra 500 runners are all comrades entries.
    The Ocean Basket Shirts look very nice, any extras availble and price?
