Competitor Services and Logistics

The Run Bibbulmun Track Stage Run is designed to be logistically easy for solo runners to complete with or without a support crew. All facets of the event logistics are planned for you so all you have to do is run and enjoy the spectacular trails and friendly event camaraderie.

Key points about the event logistics (they’re super simple):

  • the event is based out of Denmark. All stages are within close proximity.
  • buses will be available to transfer runners between the the finish and start line of each stage (so your car is at the finish when you arrive)
  • waterpoints will be stocked with sufficient race food to get you through – or give us a drop bag to take for you
  • you book your own accommodation in Denmark to the level and timeframe that suits you.
  • there’s a coordinated schedule of functions to keep it super social!

All points are explained in greater detail below.

Race Transfers to Start/Finish Lines $69

Rapid Ascent will provide optional bus transportation between the start and the finish of each stage (both long course and short course) so you don’t need a support crew to drive you.

How it works:

  1. Drive to the finish line in the morning. Park your car and take what you need for the run.
  2. Get on the bus which will drive you to the start line (where there are toilets…)
  3. Give us any spare clothing… which we will take to the finish for you.
  4. Run the stage… and your car and other items will be waiting at the finish for you!

How to book? This bus transfer service is an optional extra for $69 and can be booked when you enter online, or added at a later date, but must be purchased prior to Friday 7th November. Add via Merch Page

Can do it yourself! Of course you can do your own car shuffles and/or have a support crew drop you at the start / finish at any time. All transfers between the finish and start are less than 30mins driving.

Drop bags

We will take your spare items from the start to the finish (eg. warm clothes and coffee mugs from the bus)

Just make sure your items are in a sealed bag and clearly labelled and we’ll ferry them around for you.

Support crews (optional)

Non-running support crews and friends are welcome to attend the event to service and care for their runners before, during and after each stage. You can drive your runners to and from each stage and provide assistance at each water point to make sure they’re running strong!

No worries if you don’t have a support crew, the bus and bag transfers outlined above mean you’re not disadvantaged or unable to compete if attending independently. If you don’t have a car (eg. flying in to Albany) and need further assistance then contact us and we’ll see what we can do to assist.

All stages start and finish within 40mins drive of Denmark (in fact most stages are within 25mins!) so we encourage everyone to stay in (or close to) Denmark for the duration of the event.

Denmark is race central

Denmark is also the location for race registration, the final finish line, and the mid-event dinner on Saturday night – at the Boston Brewing Company.

“This was like no event I had ever done!  It was such a buzz over the 3 days to follow your team mates, cheer them over the line and participate in such a different type of event. The trails were rugged and around every corner the views were stunning and different.” K, Poulton, 2022 Participant

Additional competitor services
