Racing in a category above your current age category is not permitted.

Race Division

You can choose to run or walk the Miners Trail event. Regardless, of which you'll need to reach the Aid Station approximately half way through the course before 12pm - this is achievable by walking the event at a good pace.

Newsletters & Magazine

Our main method of communicating important race information, prize giveaways etc to you will be via email newsletters, we do not post out race packs. It's therefore important to keep your email address up-to-date (by logging into your Iconic Profile) and to not 'opt out' of the email newsletter prior to the event.

Every competitor will receive a complimentary copy of the Iconic Adventures magazine.  If you enter before 1 Dec your magazine will be posted to you during December, if you enter after 1 Dec your magazine will be posted in mid Feb.  For international competitors your magazine will not be posted, you can collect your magazine from the Info tent at the finish line.

 ENTRY UPDATES & CHANGES

The final date for any entry changes is 15 Feb, 5pm.  

Entry Changes

To change any Motatapu Miners Trail entry, for example the race category your are currently entered into, will incur a $20 admin fee.  You will receive an email confirmation at the completion of the process.

The buyer will be sent an email prompting them to complete a few details and provide credit card details as a $20 transfer fee will apply.  Once all details are completed and the transfer is accepted an email confirmation will be sent to both parties.

Racing Under Someone Else's Name

Please do not race under someone else's name! It causes a major safety hazard should the false competitor be involved in an accident; we are without correct name and details, nor any emergency contact details. Racing under another’s name results in disqualification of both the original and false competitors from the race, and ineligibility for any merit or spot prizes. Both parties may also be banned from entering any future Iconic Adventure races.
