Your safety is our focus and if our medics or staff make the determination that you are not fit to start or continue on the course we will remove you. We aren't being mean - we just want you back home safe at the end of the race. No race is worth putting yourself or others in danger for.

You will be required to have your Vaccine Passport verified at time of entry to the race. This will also be checked against your I.D. Please be ready with both of these items when you arrive at Island Ultra. You will be unable to collect your race bib and take part without this.

You can rest assured that all participants, vendors, volunteers and staff are also required to provide their Vaccine Passport so that the event can run within the government mandate for events under the Orange setting.
