What does Scrutineering and Send Off look like for runners?

  1. Race Check In

You must be at Yukeembruk Village at your teams scrutineering time, where you will present identification and receive a race pack containing your teams race bibs, first aid kit, Yellowbrick tracker and any other gear deemed necessary by the Inward Bound Committee. You will be guided through how to use the Yellowbrick trackers and attach them securely to the backpack of one member of your team.

  1. Scrutineering

Scrutineers will go through everything in your bag, confirming that you have all compulsory items and that they meet the requirements. They will also take note of any additional items you wish to bring with you and ensure that your team’s mobile telephone is sealed in a bag provided to you.

  1. Isolation

You will then enter isolation, where you will wait until your division Send Off time. There will be access to bathrooms in isolation. 

  1. Send Off

At your division Send Off time, each team will run down the shute to your team song and onto the buses in preparation for departure to your drop location!
