COURSE CUTOFFS
The course checkpoints will be listed below from the 1st of August when the course is revealed. The checkpoints are in the interest of participant safety & course management. The times are based on a participant averaging 9.6kmph. If you fall behind a cut off time you will be directed to stop at the aid station checkpoint (CP) and transported back to the venue. You will be classed as a DNF (Did Not Finish) for that stage.
COURSE MARKING
Volcanic Epic course marking is set out to direct you in the right direction. There are many different signs on the trails we ride that are unrelated to the event, please take time to learn our course marking and signs.

- Not rely on GPS as we may have had to make last minute course changes.
