    Event Safety
    ​

    It is important that all participants attend, listen to and heed the advice of the safety briefing. Please remember that the Taylor River reserve is a shared space with other users, such as members of the public out for a walk or run, dogs and cyclists. Keep left as much as you can.  

    ​

    Dogs
    ​

    The Taylor River reserve is a dog friendly environment.  That means you may be sharing the path with a dog running at random chasing a tennis ball. But it also means you can take your dog along for the walk or run. If you do plan to have your dog with you, then please make sure it is on a lead and that you start the event at the back of the start area.
