EVENT TIMELINE

Registration
Registration will be at the Race Village at All Out Adventures from 14:30 until 18:00, where runners will be able to collect their Race Shirts and Race Numbers. There will be no early Saturday morning Registration for RTB Ultra 65 runners – you MUST register on Friday afternoon. RTB Marathon 42, RTB 25 & RTB 13 runners arriving early on Saturday will be able to register and collect their stuff at All Out Adventures from 05:00 to 07:00 on Saturday.
RTB Race Start
The RTB Ultra 65 and RTB Marathon 42 will start at All Out Adventures. The RTB 25 and RTB 13 will start at The Cavern. There will be a shuttle transfer service from the Race Village at All Out Adventures to The Cavern for the start of the RTB 25 and RTB 13. If you are registering on Saturday morning please make sure that you give yourself enough time to register and catch the shuttle to the start of your race.

PLEASE NOTE: Saturday morning Registration is NOT available to RTB Ultra 65 runners.

PLEASE NOTE: There is no Parking facility at The Cavern. RTB 25 and RTB 13 runners who are not staying at The Cavern are requested to park at All Out Adventures and use the Shuttle Service.

RTB Race End
All 4 races will finish at All Out Adventures. For those driving themselves, there is parking at the Race Village, so you will be finishing at your car. For those being dropped off, there is absolutely NO parking at or near The Cavern, and we strongly recommend that all drop-offs happen at All Out Adventures. There will NOT be an official shuttle from the finish back to The Cavern, but as has been the case in previous years, it should not be difficult to source a lift if needed.
