Frequently Asked Questions
How does the handicapping work?
Have you ever dreamed of standing on the podium, but in reality, you know you will always be a middle or back of the packer? Well dream no more, this is your time to shine! Put simply, faster runners start after slower runners, kind of like giving the slower runners a head start.
Heres an example:
Blake’s best 10km on the flat might be 35 mins
Shane’s best 10km on the flat might be 40 mins
Richelle’s best 10km on the flat might be 65 mins
During this race, if we are aiming for a 6pm finish, heres the start times:
Blake’s start time: 5.25pm
Shane’s start time: 5.20pm
Richelle’s start time: 4.55pm
What if I dont know my time for my best flat 5km/10km?
If you dont know, you have time between now and the event to go for a run of that distance, and time yourself. Take a few mins off if you know you will go faster in a race.
How much of my entry fee goes to Shake It Up?
We will be honest with you and say the majority of your entry fee will go to Shake It Up. We are however, required to pay various permit fees to get this event up and running, so the exact percentage donated will depend on how many entrants we get.
Refunds and Name Changes
Name changes are permitted on the day, just get there a few mins early
If you can't make it, unfortunately refunds are not available. Consider it your donation to Shake It Up!
Can children enter the event?
Due to insurance restrictions, all competitors must be over 18. Kids however are welcome to come along for a picnic, cheer everyone else on, and dress up of course!
Transport and Parking
Parking is available at Birdsland, enter off Mt Morton Rd. Carparking is quite tight, so please car pool or take the train where possible .
Alternatively you can catch the train to Tecoma train station, on the Belgrave line, which is 2.5km from the venue.
What happens on a day of Total Fire Ban, or Code Red?
If the 1st of March 2014 is declared a Total Fire Ban, or a Code Red bushfire day, the race will be postponed until a later date (to be determined). Participants will receive an email the night before the race if this is the case.
