This event is based upon the original
FatAss concept of no entry fee, no help, no support, no assistance and No
Wimps. However, a few additions stray slightly (or maybe grossly) from the
original concept:
▪ distance markers every 5kms
▪ provision for belongings to be transported to Queenscliff (although we cannot
be responsible for valuables)
▪ transport back to the Geelong Showgrounds is available for those who require it
- see Shuttle Bus section for more details.
▪ aid stations - 4 drink / food stations (8, 16, 24 & 34kms) where we will
drop off the supplies you leave with us at the start
There were a few runners participating in TEAMS in 2007 with change overs at the
aid stations. This added plenty of atmosphere to the aid stations so teams are
most welcome again in 2008.
There are toilets at the start, at Drysdale (16.8kms) and at Queenscliff. There
are no reliable drinking taps along the course so it is recommended that you
utilise the above drink / food stations. The trail is also very easy to cycle (MTB
or hybrid) and companion cyclists are more than welcome.
The course is relatively traffic free, but
you do have to cross some major roads, so please take care. For this reason and in FatAss tradition, this is
NOT A RACE
but a runners get together run - there are no
prizes for finishing first! We do request that you provide your name, contact
number, emergency contact
and sign a disclaimer at the start that the organiser is not
responsible for any mishap which may occur - please allow time for this prior to
run start. We will make all reasonable attempts to account for all starters at
the end.
