English as a Second Language (Simplified) Race Briefing

If English isn’t your first language, you may have experience difficulties understanding the accent, speed, or event-specific words in the briefing. Don’t worry – we can help! We have an ESL expert on our team who gives a simplified race briefing. The simplified race briefing will use simpler words, slower speech, and more one-on-one contact. Even if English is your first language, but you prefer quieter race briefings with more opportunities to ask questions, this is the briefing for you! The ESL (Simplified) Race Briefing will occur at 4:20pm for this event.

Cut-Off Time:

All events will be cut-off at 6am.

Prices:

Medal:

An optional medal is available for free to events/distances of 21.1km and over; it is available for $13.00 for events/distances of under 21.1km. Personalisation services (of name, inspirational message, and/or finish time) are available for an additional cost.

Podium

GoodRunnings endeavours to have a podium presentation within 30 minutes of the final podium placer crossing the finish line. Podium positions earn either a medals or certificate, according to the policy. 

Only those who competed at the standard start time (and ran the prescribed course) are eligible for podium recognition. This ensures that all of those on the podium competed under the same conditions. If a registrant is not present during the podium ceremony, they forfeit their medal/certificate and/or podium prize. Podium medals, certificates, and/or prizes will NOT be posted out after an event in situations where the winner failed to be present during the podium presentation.

Timing:

The timing of this event is ensured by chip timing and recorded by a timing mat, with a vertical antenna for back up. Additionally, video footage is recorded by two separate cameras and reviewed if there are discrepancies or questions. To help determine the segment of the footage to review, GoodRunnings may ask competitors for their estimated finish times and/or review third party records, including (but not limited to) Strava. GoodRunnings reserve the right to request a competitor’s GPS recording if it is deemed there is a valid concern about failure to follow course directions and can DQ a runner for failure to provide a GPS record under those circumstances.
