“THANK YOU!”A massive thank you to everyone who helps us make the 2017 Tarawera Ultramarathon

an incredible event. Your hard work makes everything happen in the long run.

KIA ORA. WELCOME.Welcome to our ‘real world’Dear Tarawera runners, supporters and friends,

Kia ora and welcome to the ninth annual Tarawera Ultramarathon.

Most of society would assume the only way to get from Rotorua to Kawerau is a scenic fifty-minute car journey. At the very minimum, it’s the only sensible way. Anyone who attempts to run between those two towns (through the bush no less) is either mad, has too much time of their hands or is trying to make up for something lacking in their lives (probably brain cells).

The ‘real world’ is a place where things muddle along day after day. Get up, work, eat, go to bed – repeat. New ideas are treated sceptically, things start with a whimper, progress and then end with a fizzle. A month later you have forgotten what you did. The real world is a place where ideas are too risky, too ambitious, impossible and doomed to failure.

The real world is the place where someone tells you that you are mad to run further than a marathon. It’s selfish – your family will miss you? what if you get lost? you’ll bugger up your knees, wild possums will eat you alive! Besides, it’s not possible – is it? The pessimists have already thought up twenty different failure scenarios before a single success scenario.

We don’t live in the real world. The Tarawera Ultramarathon is an event for completely different kinds of people.

It’s for dreamers, adventurers, stubborn-minded achievers, creators, craft beer drinkers. The muddy, the sweaty, the bloody, the foul-mouthed and the teary-eyed. It’s for the swashbucklers, the hackers and the rebels. It’s not normal, it’s not sensible – but it’s our real world.

The Tarawera Ultra is a way you can make a dent in the universe. You’ve done something that most view as unrealistic, impossible and plain crazy. That feeling is powerful. You have a confidence and calmness about you and a stupid-ass grin spreads across your face when you think about how far you’ve run and what you’ve managed to achieve. That powerful feeling lasts a long time and goes a long way. It translates through to your relationships, work and study, looking after your own health and finding new adventures in your life. It’s not the sort of event you forget in a month, or a year – or ever.

As organisers, we get it. Our company is guided by one clear vision

“Our Events Change Lives”. We’re not a normal company either. What started as a project in 2008 in Paul’s Mums spare bedroom in Kawerau has expanded into a business that injects $0.9 million dollars into Rotorua with the Ultramarathon alone and brings in a further $1.1 million in GDP into New Zealand. This event provides income for close to a hundred local businesses and community groups and brings in a team of over 400 volunteers on race day.

Our other two events, while not covering the same epic distances, help us share the passion for adventure and exploration of some of the most breath-taking trails (and off-trails) in the North Island. April’s Waitomo Trail Run combines above-ground and underground experiences as runners get to explore natural tunnels and other-worldly karst landscapes. November’s Tarawera Trail Marathon and 50k now includes shorter (but no less adventurous) options as we added the new Tikitapu Trail Run 16 and 23km adventure options last year.

We have half a dozen new events planned – to be revealed over the comings months and years. Many more seemingly great event ideas have been consigned to the trashcan – sometimes after weeks or even months of work. Whatever we come up with in the future, we can guarantee we’d never put on these events if we operated in the real world. We’re in it because we love what we do and the difference we can make.

To each runner, from 42 countries, who’ve signed up: thank you for stepping up to the challenge. You have done the hard work with your training, diet, overcoming injuries, staying healthy as well as balancing work, family and friends just to get to the start-line. Unleash your potential on race day.

Race week is Thursday to Sunday. Be part of it. Spread the crazy on social media. Share your passion for this event and for trail ultra-running with our generous sponsors (including our new title sponsor – Compressport), with the volunteers and with your fellow runners. On behalf of the event and our amazing 400-strong volunteer army - see you in February and we look forward to those finish-line hugs.

This is your guide to the event. A PDF version is posted on the website www.taraweraultra.co.nz

THE WORLD’S INAUGURAL DOGAINEWhen: Registration from 4.45pm; Race Start 5.30pm

Where: Reserve next to Holiday Inn, 10 Tyron Street, Rotorua

Cost: Voluntary cash donation for SPCA

This year, the annual Tarawera Ultra Thursday evening fun run will be a Rogaine* run with a twist, for a cause – every team must have a dog (=Dogaine) and we are raising funds for the Kawerau and Rotorua SPCA.

Teams of 2- 5 runners plus one dog per team must find as many hidden checkpoints in the forest as possible in one hour (All dogs MUST be kept on leash during the event). Please sign up for the event on our Facebook page if you are interested in coming. The page can also be used to form teams and find your canine partners - if all fails, bring a fluffy toy dog with you. The event doubles as a fundraiser for the Kawerau and Rotorua SPCA’s through paws4kawerau – both centres will be present and bring some of

their dogs to take part in the event also.

Event organiser Katrin Webb says the event will be hilarious total

dog chaos and a test to see who is faster and smarter – dogs or

humans! There will also be spot prizes up for grabs for your canine

partners.

*A Rogaine is a ‘treasure hunt’ completed in teams, where you’ll be

given a map with several points to find. The highest value points

are placed the furthest away. You’ll have a fixed time to get as

many points as you can within the allotted time (around one hour).

For every minute that your team arrives after the cut-off time, you

lose points.

ATHLETE INFORMATIONTransportTransport to 87km/102km Race StartWalk out the Rotorua Holiday Inn door sometime after 5am and about 400 other people will be doing the same thing as you at the same time. You can take your own vehicle or arrange a ride with other athletes. The drive from the Holiday Inn to race start takes 5-10 minutes. Please park as directed.

Transport to 62km Race Start Please catch one of our free shuttle buses at the Redwoods at 6.10-6.20am (immediately after the start of the two longer runs). There will be no public, supporter or vehicle access to the 62km start area on Millar Road. Race start for all 62km runners is 7.15am.

Bus back to Rotorua We have buses from the finish line in Kawerau back to the start. Pay for a bus ticket when you sign up online, or pay at registration on Friday before race day (tickets are NZ $20). The buses will depart Kawerau every hour from 1pm (and every 30 minutes during the peak of finishers). The last bus will leave Kawerau when the last runner has finished the event. The bus will drop you back to the Redwoods or Rotorua Holiday Inn. You will need to show your bus ticket.

There are plenty of cars heading out in the same direction as you, so it will be easy to grab a ride. Driving time from Kawerau to Rotorua is 50 minutes. If you have paid your bus money, you are welcome to instead grab a car ride back to Rotorua with other runners and their crew if you prefer. Please note however that there are no refunds for prepaid, unused bus tickets.

102/87km Race StartThe race start will be very busy and crowded. To ensure we get underway on time, please aim to be at the start no later than 5.20am. There will be hot tea, coffee and espresso available for purchase. There will be toilets and portaloos at the race start.

Gates close to the Rotorua Redwoods at 11.30pm on race day.

IMPORTANT: If you think you will be back in Rotorua after 11.30pm on Saturday evening, park your car outside the gates on Long Mile Road and walk (or hop a ride) to the start-line (only 1km away). Please aim to assemble at the race start no later than 5.20am. The start area gets very busy after that time.

Parking will be tight. Essentially, the earlier you arrive, the closer you will park to the start-line. Please park where directed on both sides of the road. There will be a 10-minute briefing before the race start. The race start is at the Redwoods Visitors Centre, Long Mile Road, Rotorua.

HeadlampsSunrise is at 6:40am. The Redwood Grove is very dark prior to sunrise so having a headlamp is strongly recommended. We will have a volunteer pick up headlamps at the 5km point (at the water tower near Tarawera Road) and also at the Tikitapu (Blue Lake) aid station. You can ditch your named headlamp (use your official TUM headlamp tag, provided on your dropbag label sheets, in your race pack) and surplus clothing (which must also be clearly named/labelled) with the volunteers and pick them up at the Kawerau finish or prizegiving. Some athletes purchase cheap headlamps just for the event that they do not label and do not wish to collect after the event. Any unclaimed headlamps will be donated to the local running club about a month after the event.

Weather ForecastTemperatures at the race start at 6am will be around 12-14 degrees Celsius and will warm up quickly. Temperatures in the Tarawera Forest in mid-afternoon can exceed 30 degrees.

Temperatures will likely be in the 20-25 degree range for most of the day. www.metservice.com/towns-cities/rotorua

Compulsory GearIn the week prior to the race, at registration and again at the pre-race briefing, competitors will be advised what compulsory clothing and equipment items they must carry (based on the expected weather conditions). If there is little risk of bad weather, the most likely Compulsory Gear list will be A.

There are three compulsory gear levels:

– A: No compulsory equipment

– B: Waterproof jacket (seam-sealed)

– C: Base layer long top wool/polypropylene, base layer long pants wool/polypropylene, waterproof jacket (seam-sealed), thermal hat (Buff accepted), thermal gloves.

INSPECTION OF COMPULSORY ITEMS: If compulsory items are required for the race, they will be inspected at race registration. The Race Director may choose to randomly spot check a sample of competitor items on the morning of the event at the race start. At least one random inspection of one or more item(s) will be undertaken along the course for all competitors. Plan ahead and have all items in List C available to bring to Rotorua.

The 2017 Tarawera Ultramarathon will not provide cups at aid stations, in order to reduce waste. Runners are strongly advised to carry their own drinking cup or bottle that they can use at aid stations for the selection of drinks.

We recommend you also carry water between Aid Stations. Optionally (but recommended) you should carry any gels or other form of calories with you between Aid Stations.

Race NumbersRunners of each distance are clearly recognised by their race number and the colour of the numbers.

1-700’s 102km ultra runners

black bib, white numbers

800-900’s 87km ultra runners black bib, yellow numbers

1000’s 62km ultra runners red bib, white numbers

6000’s 62km relay runners blue bib, white numbers

8000’s 87km relay runners blue bib, white numbers

87/102km pacers have white numbers, same number as their runner. All ultra runners have their name and country flag on their race numbers. All relay runners will have their team name on their race numbers.

You MUST have your race numbers facing the front when you line up at the start. Race numbers must be visible because they are recorded throughout the day. If numbers are not visible, we may need to stop you to check your number. Timing chips are on the back of your race numbers.

Timing Locations Run over the timing mats at Tikitapu (Blue Lake), Millar Road, Okataina, Humphries Bay, Tarawera Falls, Titoki and Fisherman’s Bridge Aid Stations.

Mobile App and Live Tracking The event mobile app is available in both iPhone and Android format. Download from the iTunes store or from the Google Play Store. With limited cell coverage, we will try to upload results as


close to real-time as possible.

Race SafetyPlease take care of both yourselves and the other competitors on the course. If someone needs help, please stop and help them. There will be a full safety crew at the race, including outdoor safety specialists, coastguard, search and rescue personnel, emergency doctors, nurses and ambulances. Some volunteers hold first aid qualifications. Safety staff will have radio communications with the Safety Manager and Race Director in case of an emergency. Safety information is printed on the back of your race number.

Relay TeamsYou can change the name and order of your teammates at registration on Friday. A flat $30 admin. fee covers all the changes you wish to make to a team.

Only one member of a team needs to be present on Friday to pick up your race packet. However you will be still be required to bring at least one set of compulsory gear, should it be required for inspection.

Each member of a relay team gets a race number. They are identical and all have your team name on them. Check that you have the correct amount of race numbers in your race pack (four for 87km relay; two for 62km relay).

The timing chip is on the back of your race number.

87 km relay teams swap at Tikitapu (Blue Lake), Okataina and Tarawera Falls –

62km relay teams swap at Tarawera Outlet.

If you are in a fast 87km team, you may wish to send teammate #4 straight to Tarawera Falls since any team members at Okataina will need to catch the shuttle bus and then have a long drive in to the Tarawera Falls area.

Team members can run more than one leg if a team-member has dropped out.

Two cars per relay team is a good idea to get around the course efficiently (especially for fast teams).

There are no shirts given to relay team runners – but you can purchase a souvenir Tarawera shirt at the Expo on Friday.

All race rules and cut-off times apply to relay teams as well as solo ultra runners.

Relay runners are not allowed to have pacers. Relay team runners do not need drop bags.

Course Markings Only follow the fluoro pink/orange ribbons in the trees and red arrows on a white background. There should be no other markings. Any turns should be obviously marked with these pink/orange ribbons and/or red arrows. The wrong way will be indicated with hazard or warning tape. Glowsticks, fluoro ribbons/cones and glow spray will help to mark the course from the Awaroa Aid Station to the Kawerau finish line.

Aid Stations The Aid Stations are very generously stocked with food and drinks – we will have Tailwind, lollies, chips (chicken, salted and salt and vinegar flavours), pretzels, sandwiches (with Pic’s really good Peanut Butter, honey, jam and Nutella), fruit (bananas, watermelon, oranges, apples), ice, water, Coke, Mountain Dew, and Bundaberg ginger beer. The order of the Aid Station offerings will be: food > fruit > drink containers to fill your bottles > Gurney goo and sunblock etc.

We will have no drinking cups at aid stations this year. In an

effort to cut down on vast quantities of waste. Please bring a cup with you if you wish to drink at the aid stations. We will be selling a foldable carry-cup at the Tarawera store at the Expo on Friday.

Signs will be placed 200 metres before the Aid Station. Exit signs will indicate distance to the next Aid Station.

Toilets There are six toilets at the Redwoods Visitors Centre and there will be extra portaloos available. There are also toilets at Blue Lake Aid Station, Steep Street Reserve (Okareka), Boyes Beach Reserve (Okareka), DOC Campground (Okareka), Millar Road (aid station and 62km start), Okataina Aid Station, Humphries Bay Aid Station, The Outlet Aid Station (over the bridge), Tarawera Falls and the finish-line in Kawerau. There will be toilet facilities at all aid stations.

Etiquette You may be sharing these trails with hikers and trampers. Please make sure you move off the trail to allow these other users to pass by. When passing slower runners, please indicate that you’d like to pass by saying “passing on your left (or right)” when overtaking.

no litter

Littering and pooing / peeing Do not drop rubbish at Aid Stations or on the trails. Rubbish bins are provided at all Aid Stations. Anyone caught deliberately littering may be disqualified from this race and banned from future events. If you will generate waste on the run, please use a small ziplock bag to stash your trash and carry it with you.

Sometimes you will need to poo or pee when you are far away from a toilet. When that happens, you should step well away from sight (25 metres) and very far from waterways. Bury any waste by digging a deep hole with the heel of your shoe. Completely bury all waste.

iPodsYes you may listen to music during the run. Don’t use headphones on the public road at Okareka, as you will be running alongside cars.

Running Extra (or Less) Distance If you have entered the 87km event and you decide to run further, you must let the Aid Station volunteers at Titoki know you are continuing on the 102km course. To be fair, please pay the difference at the finish-line (or Sunday morning) if you ran further. Comparing the entry form to the results – we’ll easily know who you are.

If you entered the 102km and you complete the 87km instead, your result will not show as a DNF. Your results will be your place (and time) for that distance. If you drop at any point during the race, you must let the nearest Aid Station or a course marshal know that you have pulled out of the race.

Unlike previous years, anyone from any solo distance who ends their race at Tarawera Falls will DNF, as this is no longer a finish line.


Withdrawing Any runner who is unable to finish the run must personally inform the nearest Aid Station or event staff of their decision to withdraw and make sure their race number is recorded. We will use forest radios to try and contact your crew and it is essential your emergency contact person can be reached. If you do not have a crew, we will do our best to transport you to where you need to go. Usually you won’t have to wait long but there is a chance you may have to wait several hours for a non-emergency lift back to Event HQ.

Athletes who leave the race without officially withdrawing pose a serious risk to the event safety and will trigger a Search and Rescue response. The race reserves the right to pass on any costs associated with an unnecessary search effort if a runner has not bothered to notify Event Staff of their withdrawal before leaving the race.

Drop bags A support crew is certainly not necessary in the event. Drop bags are OPTIONAL for solo ultra runners and can contain your own goodies (gels, food, change of socks, shoes, shorts, Gurney Goo etc.).

For solo ultra runners, you will be provided with an official drop bag label sheet in your race pack. Once you have received your drop bag labels, attach them to the relevant bag for the correct Aid Station. You should then put your filled and labelled drop bags and finish-line bags in the correct trailer or pile for the correct Aid Station. We will provide labels for all drop bags – these MUST be used otherwise we will not accept your drop bag (our volunteers will be checking). The drop bags must be a soft, reasonable size – do not pack the kitchen sink. Leave your drop bags with us in the correct truck or van at race registration before 8pm on Friday. Please do not use the drop bag service for any Aid Stations where your support crew will be definitely attending.

If you have a drop bag at an Aid Station you will be asked to move it from the ‘unused pile’ to the ‘used pile’ even if you did not use your drop bag. This allows us to transport your dropbags quickly back to the Kawerau finish-line. This will help allow the drop bag tent to remain orderly for the benefit of runners yet to arrive. Drop bags must not contain any glass. All liquids must be secure.

Attach the correct label from the drop bag label sheet with the corresponding Aid Station:

LAMP Black Headlamp*

BLU Yellow Blue Lake

OTA Pink Okataina

TAR Blue Tarawera Falls

TITO Red Titoki Road**

AWA Green Awaroa**

FSH Purple Fisherman’s Bridge**

FIN Orange Finish-line Kawerau***

* HeadlampThis sticker is not for a drop bag but for your headlamp, should you wish to leave it with our volunteers near the water tower at Tarawera Road. The labels will help us identify you when you arrive at the Kawerau finish-line to collect your headlamp (and other gear).

** 87/102km Runners: Running at NightIf you think you’ll need a headlamp for the finish, you can put it in your Titoki, Awaroa or Fisherman’s Bridge drop bag. Or your crew can deliver a headlamp to you at the Titoki, Fisherman’s Bridge or River Road Aid Stations.

*** Kawerau finish-linePack a change of clothes, comfy shoes/jandals, towel etc. We will have a shuttle to take you to the free Kawerau hot pools and free

hot showers so bring a towel. Pack some money for hot food and drinks. Remember to put your bus ticket in your finish-line bag. Extra bus tickets will be available at Registration ($20).

DROPBAG COLLECTION – Drop bags from across the course will be available at the finish-line. You will be able to collect these by providing your race number to our volunteers at the Dropbag Collection desk in the building at the finish-line. If for any reason you are not able to collect your dropbag from the finish-line on race day, these will be available at the Holiday Inn between 10:00am and 3:00pm on Sunday. There are two vouchers on the official dropbag label sticker sheets for you to give your support crew members to be able to collect your gear on your behalf. No one other than you (with your race number) or supporters with those tickets will be able to collect dropbags on your behalf.

Cut-off TimesThe Cut-offs and required pace will be “extremely generous”, meaning you have ample time to walk tough sections, stop at Aid Stations and still get through. We have no intention of pulling people off the course for going slow.

At the same time, we do not want to have runners in the forest at 2am with the possums. These cut-offs represent an average of around 11:30 minutes per km pace for the 87km and 102km, or 13:40 per km for the 62km. In other words, just over seven and a half hours for a marathon.

Cut-off times reflect the deadlines for LEAVING the Aid Station. If you return to an Aid Station after the cut-off, you will be pulled from the run. The Aid Stations will strictly enforce the cut-off times. Anyone leaving an Aid Station after the cut-off time will be disqualified. This rule is for the safety of all participants. IF YOU MISS THE CUT-OFF, YOU MUST STOP. Significant sanctions will apply to anyone breaking this rule.

If you do not make the Titoki 102km cut-off time, you will need to finish on the 87km course. You cannot complete the 102km.

Podium Spots and Race RecordsRunners who switch distances on race day and finish in the top five (men or women) for that distance will still be recorded for their time and place in that distance on the website. For all media, prize giving ceremony, place-getter medals, and official Tarawera Ultra communications, only those who entered that distance will be acknowledged as being in the top five per distance/gender.

Walking This is a running event, not a walk! Unless you are an exceptional walker (we have had one) you cannot expect to walk the entire course and still finish within the cut-offs. All runners will walk the course at times, especially the uphills. Runners will probably walk more later in the event as fatigue sets in.

Kawerau Finish-line There is ample parking at the Kawerau finish-line and a guaranteed party atmosphere. The race will provide free drinks (a locally-brewed Croucher Beer, Monteiths Cider, Bundaberg ginger beer and other drinks) and fruit for each finisher. Meals and drinks will be available to purchase so pack some money in your finish line bag for extra food and drinks. Hot food will be available until 10pm on race night – stay behind and cheer in the final runners to the finish of an epic day! Sheldon and Stacey from Sequoia Eatery will have delicious hot food at the finish-line with more than 15 different menu items. Choose from our Frites Menu, our Burger Menu, Pasta Menu and Kids Menu. Bring your appetite!

Lost Property Lost gear, start line headlamps and drop bags will be transported back to the Kawerau finish area and will be available throughout the day. Labelling or naming your gear is essential. Any unclaimed gear will be at prize giving on Sunday. We recommend that you claim all of your lost gear before leaving town.

Tarawera Ultra – Anti-Doping Policy and Statement.As a privately-owned event and a major event in the sport of trail ultra-running globally, we are working hard to ensure our sport remains clean of performance enhancing drugs. To this end, race management is in regular communication with Drug Free Sport NZ regarding anti-doping programmes. From these communications, we have taken the following steps:1. Race management reserves the right to drug test any athlete

competing in this event – from the time of registration to the completion of the event. Agreement to submit to drug testing is a condition of entry. Any testing will be conducted in a manner consistent with the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Code including the WADA Prohibited List.

2. No athlete that is currently serving a sanction for violating sports anti-doping rules may enter the Tarawera Ultramarathon.

Race management will disqualify the entry of any athlete violating (2) or (3) who attempts to enter these events.

Race management will provide anti-doping education to our participants, in conjunction with Drug Free Sport NZ. Considerable resources for athletes, coaches and support staff is on the Drug Free Sport NZ website: http://drugfreesport.org.nz/

Preventive and Research Actions Concerning Health PolicyThe organisation decided to set up preventive and research actions concerning health policy during the Tarawera Ultra Marathon. These voluntary actions have neither the vocation nor the competence to be substitutes for national and international regulations concerning anti- doping, but aim to strengthen the medical supervision that the organisation wishes for. They are managed jointly by the ITRA (International Trail Running Association), the Ultra Trail World Tour (UTWT) and the association Athletes For Transparency (AFT). These voluntary actions are led by a Medical Commission consisting of doctors who can take advice from the experts of their choice and are asked to give consultative advice to the race jury on the medical state of participants.

Each runner is free to:

1. Declare the following information to the medical commission:

• any medical history and/or pathology in particular those which may increase risk during the sport

• the regular use of treatments and medicines during the 15 days prior to the start of the race

• all requests for or use of medicines subject to a Therapeutic Usage Exemption (TUE).

The declaration of this information to the medical commission must be made through each runner’s ITRA health page which each runner can create free of charge on the ITRA website: www.itra.run (To open an account is free of charge and is necessary in order to access the health page).

The medical information declared on the pages is accessible only to the Medical Commission and the organisation’s own medical team.

2. Accept to submit any urine, and/or blood, and/or capillary, and/or saliva samples and the associated analyses requested by the Organisation’s Medical Commission, on the understanding that the costs for the sampling and analyses are covered, directly, by the Organisation.

3. To accept to answer any request that the Medical commission may make based on information that they have collected, in order to discuss their ability or not to participate in the race for which they are registered. As a result of the meeting, the Medical Counsel may suggest that the race Jury exclude the runner from the race.

4. Accept the use of data concerning the results of research, while knowing that the data used will be strictly anonymous. According to the data protection act, the runner will have a right of access, rectification and opposition to the data concerning them. The Organisation’s Medical Commission will be the entity through whom the runner can exercise this right.

4TH ANNUAL TARAWERA TRAIL MARATHON & 50KPohutu Geyser, Te Puia to Hotwater Beach, Lake Tarawera

SATURDAY 11 NOVEMBER 2017www.taraweramarathon.co.nz

“Tarawera 50k : the ultramarathon with geysers, waterfalls – and a cream tea” THE GUARDIAN, UK


Support crews are most welcome at the Tarawera Ultramarathon. We love support crews – especially those that dress up and cheer loudly! The more people and the more enthusiastic you are, the better the atmosphere for the runners. To keep the event manageable as well as fair and safe for all runners, and to make sure support crews do not get lost, there is some information that support crews need to know.

Support crews are in for a real treat. This is a spectacular course and you’ll get to see some amazing parts of New Zealand. Please bear in mind that there will be hundreds of support crew vehicles driving and parking on narrow roads. Please keep your speed down, lights on and be careful entering and exiting all parking areas. There is absolutely no need to speed to see your runner at the next Aid Station. You will have plenty of time.

Mobile phone coverage on the course is patchy. Please google search your phone provider’s coverage map, e.g. search for “Vodafone coverage map” to get a better idea of where you might have mobile phone coverage.

Please purchase a Tarawera Forest permit from registration if you would like to watch your runner at the following aid stations:

Tarawera Falls, Titoki, Awaroa, Fisherman’s Bridge and River Road.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ROTORUA END OF THE COURSEYou can view runners at the following locations:

1 Start at the Rotorua Redwoods.

2 Top of the water tank on Tarawera Road.

3 Opposite the Black House on Tarawera Road.

4 and 5 . At the far-right of the carpark when you first arrive at Blue Lake. Runners will run along a grass strip for 200 metres so you will have an excellent viewing opportunity. You can then walk for 5 minutes to the Blue Lake Aid Station and view the runners again. This is a very spectator-friendly zone with ample parking, toilet facilities and children’s playground

(Blue Lake/Green Lake lookout not shown on map). Limited space for 20-30 vehicles at this point on the southern side of the lake.

Due to congestion NO CARS will be allowed in Okareka township.

If you travel to the Outlet to see your runner, you will not have time to also see your runner at the Tarawera Falls Aid Station 5 . 5 Travel to the Tarawera Falls and park at Carparks 1, 2, or 3. You will need to walk in up to 1.4km to meet your runner.

6 Titoki. After The Outlet, you will have plenty of time to travel down the road to view your runner at Titoki. From the Titoki carpark area, you have a 1.5km walk to the Aid Station to see your 102km runner, or a 1km walk to see your 62/87km runner (after they have left the Titoki Aid Station).

7 500 metre walk to Fisherman’s Bridge.

8 200 metre walk to River Road.

Due to forest fire safety, some carparks are some distance from Aid Stations. If you wish to access some of the furthest Aid Stations, you must be prepared to walk (remember how far your runner must travel on foot, so no whining!). The Tarawera Forest is private land. The forest owners can prevent private cars from entering the forest on race day. This will be enforced by forest security.

Kawerau Finish-lineThe Kawerau finish-line is on Firmin Field, Waterhouse Street, Kawerau. This is next to the Tarawera River. You will be instructed where to park.

Tarawera Forest Permits A forest permit is needed if you take a car into the Tarawera Forest (this includes any Aid Station between The Outlet and River Road). Runners do not need permits, only cars. Each car will need to get a forest permit from the Kawerau Information Centre before entering the Tarawera Forest. There are three ways to do this:

1. Fill out the form online. www.kawerauonline.co.nz/permits/request

2. At registration

3. Fill in the form in your race registration pack. There will be spare copies at race registration. You can get your permit issued at race registration.

4. Get and complete the form at the Kawerau Information Centre on race day. You will still get a permit but it will likely take a lot longer.

If you do not have a permit, Forest Security will prevent you from entering the Tarawera Forest. Please be courteous to Forest Security on race day – they have an important job to do and it is a privilege for all of us to be able to access this land, which is both commercially and culturally important.

PARKING INSTRUCTIONS IN KAWERAU• Park in the designated carpark and walk across Waterhouse Street to Firmin Field.

• Drive along Waterhouse Street onto Tarawera Road for forest acess. Cars must have a permit.


Pacers are companion runners that can accompany an 87km or 102km runner from various points from The Outlet to the Kawerau finish-line. Pacers run for free. The Pacers role is to accompany their runner to provide moral support, pacing advice and companionship in the latter stages of the event.

• Pacers run for free. There is no fee.

• All pacers must check-in (print your name and sign in) at the finish line in Kawerau and pick up a pacer number on race day. Pacer numbers will be white. This is so we know you are part of the event. Check-in any time after 9am.

• You can pace your 87 or 102km runner from the Aid Stations:

The Outlet, Tarawera Falls, Titoki, Fisherman’s Bridge and River Road only. You cannot meet your runner before or after these locations or at intermediate points. Competitors, you can use two pacers – but only one at a time (they must change over at an Aid Station). If you plan to make an exchange, you must hand over your pacer number to the next pacer.

• Pacers are responsible for their own transport.

• There are no pacers for 62k runners or relay team runners.

• Must not carry extra water, food or any equipment for runners.

• With the exception of an emergency or medical situation, pacers cannot provide any material assistance to their runners.

TRAIL CREW AND VOLUNTEERSAn important part of what we do is giving back to the community through maintaining and improving trails in the Rotorua area. On 7 January 2017, more than 40 volunteers came out and cleared trails in the Tarawera Forest, Western and Eastern Okataina Walkways and Northern Tarawera Track. This volunteer work is a tremendous benefit for race day, for runners on training runs and for recreational walkers. Thanks to the Department of Conservation and Lake Tarawera Water Taxi and Ecotours for your help. Special thanks to Rob Hammington, who organised another Trail Clearing Day for 21 January 2017 with a bunch of volunteers.

During January, the Kawerau Crew worked tirelessly to clear the final 40km of the 102k course. The crew comprised the O’Briens: Kevin, Edwina, Mathew, Taiawa, Zhantellie, Audrina and Mihiata together with Sue Walker, Al Spanhake, Zhan Herewini,

Uru Awhimate, Melanie McMillian, Daryll Simpson and Verbena McCauley.

We’ve also been waging a war on wasps this year, which should help protect you and our wildlife!

Volunteers help make this event possible each February. We always welcome friendly and helpful people to help make this event happen. Volunteers are often the most memorable feature of the race for our runners coming from all over the world. Each year, our army of 400+ helpful, energetic, friendly volunteers help feed and water runners, sign them up at registration, rake leaves off the trails, drive boats, mark over 102km of wilderness terrain, assist media, give out hugs and bandage blisters.

SAFETY IN THE TARAWERA FORESTIn the Tarawera Forest slow down wherever you see cones on the road and/or flashing lights and marshals. These are high-traffic areas or locations where runners may be present.

The Tarawera Forest is accessible only via unsealed forestry roads. The roads are dusty in dry conditions and slippery in the wet. Do not speed on these roads. Road signs will indicate runners are present. Cars in the Tarawera Forest will encounter runners at the following places:

• Following a long, straight forestry road, just before a bridge over the Tarawera River, runners will exit Cummings Road, cross over the main road at the bridge and continue along the river track.

• A 300-400 metre section after runners have left the Titoki Aid Station.

• Spectators travelling to the Tarawera Outlet will encounter runners on Tarawera Road close to the Titoki Road intersection.

Please drive very slowly and take extreme care when driving on these roads.

Warning: The forest is a multiple hazard environment

• ALL vehicles require an access permit.

• Fires are NOT permitted.

• Smoking is not permitted.

• In case of emergency call 111.

• Unless authorised, do not cut, fell or remove any live or dead trees, shrubs or other forest produce.

• Keep within the forest boundaries noted on your access permit.

• Always follow instructions of any forestry security staff.

• If you observe any unsafe or suspicious activity (such as smoking) contact ISCL 07 347 8880.

• Every permit holder must carry with them photographic identification along with their Access Permit.

• All people using the forests must comply with New Zealand law.

• Always be courteous to other forest users.

• For further instructions please refer to your permit.

HAZARDS AND RISKSIf an incident occurs, please contact one of the Aid Station staff or a mountain bike safety volunteer, a medical/safety officer or a marshal on the course. They will radio one of the safety personnel to respond, or will call in an ambulance or helicopter.

The Tarawera Ultra Marathon is a physically challenging event. Participation presents potential medical risks, many of which can be extremely serious or fatal.

Participation in this event is at the runner’s own risk. Although Run Management has medical personnel at various points along the course, the inaccessibility of much of the trail will make it difficult or impossible for medical assistance to reach the runner immediately.

Participants are encouraged to see their own medical doctor prior to the event. Runners should be knowledgeable about the stress effects linked to participation in ultra events.

It is important for each entrant to recognise the potential physical and mental stresses, which may evolve from participation in this event. Runners may be subject to extremes of heat and cold, hypothermia, hyperthermia, dehydration, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, disorientation and mental and physical exhaustion. Run Management and the medical staff strive to work with runners. They will do all they reasonably can to ensure “safe passage” to Kawerau, but ultimately runners must understand their own limitations. This is one event where it is better to follow the dictates of your body, not your ambitions! Adequate physical and mental conditioning prior to the event is mandatory. If you have not been able to prepare properly, do not attempt to run!

Runners should appreciate the risks associated with participation in this event. Actions may have to be taken on your behalf under extreme time constraints and adverse circumstances. We will make reasonable efforts to give assistance whenever possible. Ultimately and primarily you are in charge. Be careful, be responsible, and do not exceed your own abilities and limitations.

Some of the main risks of the Run, but certainly not all of them, are listed. These should be understood and remembered by all runners, before and during the event. Please note that death can result from several of the risk conditions discussed below or from other aspects of participation in the Tarawera Ultra Marathon.

CarsThere will be vehicle traffic on limited parts of the course. You should be well aware of this when running on roads. Make sure you look both ways when crossing any roads. Runners must give way to cars Areas with cars will be sign-posted, including:

Crossing Tarawera Road as you leave the Blue Lake

Running around Lake Okareka Township as you leave the Blue Lake

Crossing the road a couple of hundred metres before the Blue Lake Aid Station

Crossing Tarawera Road (now in the Tarawera Forest) between the 60km finish line and Titoki Aid Station (85km/100km).

DarknessThe event starts before sunrise. It is dark for the first 30 minutes. Headlamps are optional for this period. If you plan on finishing after 7.30pm, make sure you have packed a headlamp in your drop bags or have your crew deliver a headlamp to you.

Getting LostAlthough Run Management endeavors to mark the Tarawera Ultra Marathon course, it is definitely possible to lose the trail. If you believe at any time that you may not be on the correct trail, do not attempt to find your way cross-country. If you are sure of your route, backtrack to where you last saw a trail marker and try to find other markers showing the direction of the trail. If you are unable to find your way, stay where you are! Wandering randomly

could take you farther from the trail and reduce your chances of being found. If you do become injured, exhausted or ill, STAY ON THE TRAIL. You will be found there either by another runner, or the mountain bike safety patrol that monitor the progress of runners during the event. If you feel dizzy, disoriented or confused, do not risk falling. Sit or lie down on the trail until you recover or are found. An unconscious runner even a few feet off the trail could be impossible to find until it is too late. If you are assisted by individuals who are not associated with Run Management, and you elect to leave the trail, you MUST notify the official of your decision to withdraw.

Difficulty in Gaining Access to or Locating Injured ParticipantsMuch of the Tarawera Ultra Marathon trail is remote and inaccessible by motor vehicle. Accordingly, in spite of the many layers of safety precautions instituted by Run Management (including radio communications, regional rescue helicopters, mountain bike search and rescue personnel and other emergency services and medical personnel at many checkpoints), there is absolutely no assurance that aid or rescue assistance will arrive in time to give you effective assistance should you become sick, incapacitated or injured.

Although medical and other personnel will assist you when possible, remember that you are ultimately responsible for your own wellbeing on the trail. Only you will know how your body and mind feel at any given time. Monitor yourself during the entire run, and prepare yourself to drop out at the nearest checkpoint if you find it just isn’t your day. As you continue past each medical checkpoint, be aware of the number of kilometres to the next one, realising that getting rescue vehicles into these areas can be difficult, if not impossible.

Medical SupportThe Tarawera Ultramarathon provides quality medical care to all participants and supporters. From Rotorua to Kawerau there are on course medics who can assist at any time. Doctors’ advice is available via radio through these medics at any stage. Titoki Aid Station is staffed by a doctor and a nurse to provide ‘running repairs’ and review unwell runners. The Kawerau finish includes a mini clinic for assessing and treating the wide range of medical conditions seen at an Ultramarathon.

Remember, there is no substitute for advice from your own doctor. The following information provides some general advice relevant for ultramarathon runners.

An Ultramarathon is a true endurance event, all competitors will spend a substantial period of time on two feet, pushing all body systems far beyond what occurs day to day. The human body is amazing, and for the vast majority of competitors the body will rise to the challenge. It is important to be aware of the strain that the event places on all athletes. There are a few key medical issues to be aware of, ranging from trivial to life threatening.

The list below is not an exhaustive list, but rather is intended to offer some basic information and an overview of some complex conditions.

DehydrationDefinition : A depletion of the body’s normal fluid volumes. This occurs when fluid losses exceed replacement rates. In an ultramarathon a certain degree of fluid loss is normal and expected (approximately 1-3% of body weight).

SymptomsVaried and non-specific. These range from a dry mouth and reduced urine output, through to confusion, weakness and collapse. Nausea and vomiting can also occur, worsening the situation.


DangersIf severe, body systems can begin to fail. Exhaustion can be followed by confusion and collapse. The kidneys can also be damaged in severe dehydration.

PreventionDRINK TO THIRST. Drinking a range of fluids with volumes driven by thirst is a sensible approach. If conditions are hot make sure to carry more fluids while running between aid stations.

Possible treatments

Weight measurement, vital signs and a period of observation may be carried out by the medical team. Rehydration can almost always be achieved orally. In exceptional circumstances intravenous (IV) fluids may be used.

Exercise Associated Hyponatraemia – EAH (Low Sodium)Definition: Low blood sodium levels most commonly due to excess water intake during exercise

SymptomsMild EAH can present with symptoms such as nausea or lightheadedness. More significant cases can display confusion, vomiting, seizures and in severe cases cerebral oedema (brain swelling) or pulmonary oedema (fluid in the lungs).

DangersSevere EAH can lead to death or permanent disability through swelling of the brain.

PreventionDRINK TO THIRST. Drink a range of fluids on race day, not just water. Supplement oral fluid intake with food. Avoid drinking to a pre-determined schedule, instead let volumes be governed by thirst.

Possible treatmentsAll 85/100km are weighed as those who have gained weight are at greatest risk of EAH. The finish line team may perform further investigations or observations on the basis of symptoms or a weight gain. Treatment varies depending on severity, ranging from increased salt intake to hospitalization.

Hyperthermia Definition: Hyperthermia – core body temperature >38.3ºC

SymptomsVaried depending on severity. Heavy sweating, rapid breathing, weakness and dizziness can progress to dry skin, confusion and collapse. High fluid losses often mean dehydration can coexist with hyperthermia.

DangersSevere hyperthermia (known as ‘Heat stroke’ when body temperature exceeds 40∞C) can be life threatening with cardiovascular system instability, seizures and coma preceding death.

PreventionAppropriate training in warm conditions, maintaining adequate hydration and sensible equipment choices all work to prevent hyperthermia.

Possible treatmentsTemperature measures, as well as other vital signs, are important. In suspected severe cases a rectal temperature measurement may be required. Total body immersion in cold water and use of ice to reduce temperature are mainstays of treatment.

HypothermiaDefinition: Hypothermia – core body temperature <35.0ºC

SymptomsInitial signs include shivering, cold peripheries and skin colour change. This progresses to a loss of co-ordination, confusion, and cardiovascular instability. Confusion can make hypothermic patients combative and irrational, including taking off layers of clothes despite the cold.

DangersHypothermia can lead to death through a gradual shut down of vital body systems.

PreventionAppropriate equipment choice is a cornerstone of prevention and includes warm post-race clothing for use after the finish.

TreatmentTemperature and vital sign measurement will occur. Athletes may be removed from the race if showing significant signs of hypothermia. Rewarming can usually take place at the event with the medical crew.

Hypoglycaemia (Low Blood Sugar)Definition: In non-diabetic athletes, blood sugar levels <2.8mmol/L OR <4.0mmol/L with symptoms are considered low. In an ultramarathon this can reflect a complete depletion of fuel that can be used to generate glucose

SymptomsShakiness, fatigue and hunger can be early symptoms. Confusion, pallor, anxiety, nausea and unusual behavior are examples of more severe symptoms. Symptoms are vague, non-specific and often with a high degree of variation between individuals.

DangersLow blood sugar can lead to coma and death if not treated.

PreventionMaintaining a consistent nutritional intake through the day is important

Possible treatmentsThe medical team will likely perform blood sugar testing in addition to measuring vital signs. In a conscious patient oral glucose is often the first treatment. If unconscious, then IV therapy or injection of glucose mobilizing medications are used.

Other Medical Conditions And ConsiderationsRhabdomyolysis (Muscle breakdown)When running an ultramarathon there is an inevitable degree of muscle breakdown. The resulting waste products can be damaging to the kidneys in high concentrations. Symptoms include dark (‘coca-cola’ coloured) urine and excessive muscle soreness.

Effective training and a long build up can reduce the degree of rhabdomyolysis but not stop it. Preventing kidney damage through continued and adequate post-race rehydration is important.

Kidney damageDamage to the kidney can occur through a number of mechanisms. These include dehydration, rhabdomyolysis and NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) use. When these factors are combined the risk of kidney damage can increase dramatically. Therefore the best way you can reduce your risk is to adequately hydrate and AVOID ALL NSAIDs!

Gastrointestinal upset:Symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal cramping and diarrhea are common in ultramarathon runners with a wide range of potential causes. Affected runners should all seek medical attention during or after the race. NSAIDs are widely known to cause gastrointestinal symptoms and are another reason to avoid these medications.


Exercise induced haematuria (Blood in urine)Blood in the urine is a common complaint amongst ultra-distance runners. It is usually benign and a range of mechanisms are proposed including irritation of the bladder lining and breakdown of red blood cells during foots-trike. In can however be a sign of more serious bladder or kidney pathology.

If you have red or very dark coloured urine during or after the race you should seek the assistance of the medical team for advice. They will ask questions to assess for other causes of red/dark urine. The mainstay of treatment is observation and affected runners will be advised to follow up with their GP.

TraumaFalls, trips and tumbles are inevitable in an off road event. Injuries

can range from superficial abrasions and strains through to serious fractures and life threatening bleeding. The on course and finish-line medical teams are prepared for a range of injuries. If concerned with an injury seek medical attention.

BlistersWhile seldom life threatening, a blister can ruin a race. There is also the risk of infection in the days following the race.

Choose your race day equipment wisely and be sure to prevent blisters where possible. Treatment of severe blisters can include close follow up with regular dressing changes and in some cases antibiotics.

Aside from all that – have fun!
