Can I run with my dog?
Sorry — no dogs on DOC tracks during the event.
Is there water on course?
Water-only at Event HQ. Bring your own bottle or hydration pack.
Can I pick up my friend’s or whānau member’s race bib?
Absolutely – just make sure you know their name and entry details. We’re all about keeping it easy.
Will there be photos?
Yep – we’ll have a few local photographers out on course. Keep an eye on socials post-race for links and tags.
Will there be coffee?
Heck yes. The hot brews will be frothing from first light – perfect for spectators, runners, and those who swear they’re “just here for moral support”.
