IT’S NOT ABOUT THE RUN Dear Tarawera runners, supporters and friends, Kia ora and welcome to the eighth annual Tarawera Ultramarathon. Trail ultra running as a sport is changing at a furious pace. Events are booming globally with one website listing 12,000 trail running races world-wide. With this growth come new opportunities for runners, businesses and regions fortunate to be blessed with trails. This growth also brings a few headaches such as denied access to wilderness areas, performance enhancing drug testing and the ideological ‘battle for the soul of trail running’. We’ve seen that so-called battle waged on the Internet in the past – but the intensity seems to have heated up in the past few months. On one side, there are those who suggest that the sport is in danger of ‘selling out’. Commercial sponsors have too much sway, elite athletes receive favoured treatment and international tours and TV broadcasts make the sport either too elitist or conversely, too mainstream. All of these points are valid – and they are the sign of a passionate and engaged community. All of those ‘criticisms’ could be levelled at the Tarawera Ultramarathon. Trail running is not the sport it was back in 2009, and neither is this event. Everything we have done over the past few years has been to improve the event experience for everyone concerned. Not just the runners on race day, but for fans of the sport globally and our many regional, national and international stakeholders. In 2009 when 67 brave souls ran from Rotorua to Kawerau, there were just over a dozen trail ultras in NZ. Today there are a handful, with new events likely to be announced in the coming weeks and months. With this growth comes an increase in event professionalism, more products in the marketplace and formation of partnerships that did not seem possible just a few years ago. A significant partnership for the Tarawera Ultramarathon has been investment by the NZ Major Events Development Fund, allowing us to grow the event to deliver many more benefits for the sport, our region and NZ. Today, runners get to run through new places that were previously off-limits, travel to exotic destinations to compete, wear the latest high-tech gear and get tracked in real time online in the middle of an event. While these are by no means prerequisites to enjoy trail running, they are pretty cool. The trail running events industry has seen a major growth in recent years. This past July, the NZ events community gathered for its annual NZ Association of Event Professionals evening in Wellington. At the glitzy annual awards evening we were honoured as a finalist in the category of ‘Best NZ-Owned Major Event’. We did not win, but our friends at TotalSport won the category of Best Partnership in a NZ event for the Partners Life Motutapu



Dual. Trail running has certainly arrived in the NZ events industry and we are proud to be a part of it. We constantly as ourselves where does the Tarawera Ultra fit in? Specifically, what is its place in the NZ endurance sport community, the events industry, the global trail ultra industry and our region? The answer to this question lies in how the event fits in with people’s lives. For a few this is a pure race from Rotorua to Kawerau – a test of speed and stamina against some of the best in the world. For many it is an unforgettable, tough and rewarding journey a simply amazing day. For some, it will be one of the most transformative moments in their lives. It’s the culmination of a journey that may have started years or decades before. As we’ve grown into the role of organisers, we’ve come to realise that this is where we can make the most difference in the universe. It’s not about the run – it’s about lives being transformed. Our own, those of our athletes and the people around them. It is an awesome responsibility and it scares the living hell out of us at times. But it’s also incredibly rewarding and we realise that we’re very fortunate to do what we do. To each runner who has signed up: thank you for stepping up to the challenge. You have done the hard work with your training, diet, overcoming injuries, staying healthy as well as balancing work, family and friends just to get to the start-line. Race day is your chance to unleash, to show us what you’re made of and to give it everything. Trail running has come a long way and so have we. So have you. To those of you tackling your first ever ultramarathon – congratulations! You are in for an amazing, unforgettable and emotional experience. To those runners who have tackled this course before – welcome back as you attempt to run further, faster or funner. To those visiting us from 38 different countries, we are honoured to have you. Race day, 6 February, is Waitangi Day, NZ’s national holiday. Kia Ora and welcome. Race week is Thursday to Sunday. Be part of it. Spread the vibe on social media. Share your passion for this event and for trail ultra running with our generous sponsors, with the volunteers and with your fellow runners. On behalf of the event and our amazing 300-strong volunteer army - see you in February and we look forward to those finish-line hugs. This is your guide to the event.

Lunch is included. The tour leaves and returns to The Landing on Lake Tarawera. This includes a ‘get on and off’ at Humphries Bay and the Outlet for a recce of the course including the isthmus between Humphries and Okataina and part of the Tarawera Waterfalls Track.

The Great Geyser Rogaine When: 4.45pm to register, Start 5:30pm. Where: South Carpark, Te Puia, Hemo Road, Rotorua Cost: FREE. Open to everyone.

A one hour (approx.) rogaine run in the geyser field and forest in teams of up to five. Register from 4.45pm to 5.15pm. The tradition continues with your chance to run with some of the world’s greatest trail runners at our muchloved Thursday evening run. A rogaine is a ‘treasure hunt’ completed in teams, where you’ll be given a map with a number of points to find. The highest value points are placed the furthest away. You’ll have a fixed time to get as many points as you can within the allotted time (around one hour). For every



minute that your team arrives after the cut-off time, you lose points. This year’s rogaine starts and ends in the Te Puia geyser field. The rules? Anything goes! Once out of the geyser field you do not need to stick to the tracks – you can jump over logs, run straight up the hills and get yourselves hopelessly lost, it’s all part of the fun! Team up with your friends, grab a famous runner (or two!) and speed off into the forest.

2016 RESEARCH PROGRAMME NZ Trail Runs is pleased to announce that the 2016 Tarawera Ultramarathon will provide the setting for a Waiariki Institute of Technology funded research project investigating the effects of massage and pneumatic compression on recovery in ultramarathon runners. SATURDAY 6 FEBRUARY Race Day Dr Amanda Heapy from the Waiariki Institute of Technology (NZ) together with Dr Martin Hoffman from The University of California (USA) will lead the investigation which builds on preliminary studies carried out by Dr Hoffman at the Western States Endurance Run. Both massage and compression are popular recovery methods used by athletes although research which identifies the effects of such recovery methods on later performance are limited. It is therefore hoped that this research will provide data to inform the athlete as to the best recovery method to regain functional performance as quickly as possible. The research project seeks 80 volunteer participants who will be randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive lower limb treatment at the completion of the event on race day and for three consecutive days afterwards. The three groups include a massage group whereby participants will receive 20 minutes of a specific massage therapy, a compression group whereby participants will receive 20 minutes of a specific pneumatic compression protocol and a control group where participants will receive no treatment, but instead will rest in a horizontal position for 20 minutes. Alongside Dr Heapy (PhD) and Dr Hoffman (MD), the highly qualified team coordinating and implementing the research interventions and data collection include local massage therapist Fiona Sandford of QE Health, local rehabilitation specialist Heidie Verhagen of Fortebody Reconditioning, Waiariki academic staff member and qualified physiotherapist Pavitra Dhamija, registered nurse and Waiariki senior academic staff member Mary Cooper and Manager of the Waiariki Academy of Sport Sam Thompson. Participants will be required to: • Be entered and intending to complete the 100km or 85km distance options at the 2016 Tarawera Ultra. • Be available to meet with the research coordinator to obtain informed consent in December 2015 or January 2016. An induction questionnaire will also be completed at this time which will collect a variety of information about your running history and training leading up to the 2016 race. • Measure and report their maximal (i.e. fastest) 400 metre run time on two separate occasions before 5 February 2016.

• Meet the research coordinator at race registration on 5 February 2016 to report their pre-race weight and complete the first of a series of nine short questionnaires which subjectively assess lower body muscle soreness. • Within 45 minutes of completion of the event at Kawerau, report to the research team located at the finish-line for randomisation into a group and a 20 minute treatment. A small blood sample will also be collected at this time to analyse creatine kinase levels (indicator of muscle damage). • Be available (in Auckland or the Bay of Plenty) for 30 minutes for three consecutive days following the event for treatment: Sunday 7 February, Monday 8 February and Tuesday 9 February. If you are assigned to the control group, you can perform the 20 minute rest task at home. • On 9th, 11th, 13th and 20th February measure their maximal 400 metre run time. This can be done with the research group in Rotorua or Auckland or on a measured, flat 400 metre track if not available to meet the research team. It is important that ALL six 400 metre run times (before and after event) are recorded on the same 400 metre track. • Abstain where possible from medications during the race and for nine days afterwards. Where these have been taken, we ask you to report these on a questionnaire provided. • Abstain from any other recovery treatments apart from those prescribed after the race and for nine days afterwards. All participants will receive a special 2016 Tarawera Ultra research edition t-shirt upon completion of all requirements and submission of all data and will be provided refreshments during treatment and after scheduled 400 metre run measurements. If you would like to contribute to the science of endurance running recovery by participating in this research project, please register your interest at www.taraweraultra.co.nz/2016-ultrarunning-research as soon as possible and providing your details. The research coordinator will be in touch with you.

ATHLETE INFORMATION Relay Teams You can change the name and order of your teammates at registration on Friday. A flat $30 admin fee covers all the changes made to a team. Only one member of a team needs to be present on Friday to pick up your race packet. Each member of a relay team gets a race number. They are identical and all have your team name on them. Check that you have four race numbers in your racepack. The timing chip is on the back of your race number.

In the week prior to the race, at registration and again at the pre-race briefing, competitors will be advised what compulsory clothing and equipment items they must carry (based on the expected weather conditions). If there is little risk of bad weather, the most likely Compulsory Gear list will be A. There are three compulsory gear levels:

If you are in a fast team, you may wish to send teammate #4 straight to Tarawera Falls since any team members at Okataina will need to catch the shuttle bus and then have a long drive in to the Tarawera Falls area.

– B: Waterproof jacket (seam-sealed)

Two cars per team is a good idea to get around the course efficiently (especially for fast teams). There are no shirts given to relay team runners – but you can purchase a souvenir Tarawera shirt at the Expo on Friday or at the finish-line store.. All race rules and cutoff times apply to relay teams as well as solo ultra runners. Relay runners do not have pacers. Relay team runners do not need drop bags.

SATURDAY 6 FEBRUARY Race Day

Waitangi Day - NZ’s National Holiday 6am Race Start

The race start will be very busy and crowded. To ensure we get underway on time, please aim to be at the start no later than 5.20am. There will be hot tea, coffee and espresso available for purchase. There will be toilets and portaloos at the race start. Gates close to the Rotorua Redwoods at 11.30pm on race day. IMPORTANT If you think you will be back in Rotorua after 11.30pm on Saturday evening, park your car outside the gates on Long Mile Road and walk (or hop a ride) to the start-line (only 1km away). Aim to assemble at the race start no later than 5.20am. The start area gets very busy after that time. Parking will be tight. Essentially, the earlier you arrive, the closer you will park to the start-line. Please park where directed on both sides of the road. There will be a 10-minute briefing before the race start. The race start is at the Redwoods Visitors Centre, Long Mile Road, Rotorua.

Headlamps Sunrise is at 6:40am. The Redwood Grove is very dark prior to sunrise so having a headlamp is strongly recommended. We will have a volunteer pick up headlamps at the 4km point (at the water tower near Tarawera Road) and also at the Tikitapu (Blue Lake) aid station. You can ditch your named headlamp (use your official TUM headlamp tag, provided on your dropbag label sheets, in your race pack) and surplus clothing (which must also be clearly named/labelled) with the

volunteers and pick them up at the Kawerau finish or prizegiving. Some athletes purchase cheap headlamps just for the event that they do not label and do not wish to collect after the event. Any unclaimed headlamps will be donated to the local running club.

– A: No compulsory equipment – C: Base layer long top wool/polypropylene, base layer long pants wool/polypropylene, waterproof jacket (seamsealed), thermal hat (Buff accepted), thermal gloves. If compulsory items are required for the race, the Race Director may choose to randomly spot check a sample of competitor items on the morning of the event at the race start. At least one random inspection of one or more item(s) will be undertaken along the course for all competitors. Plan ahead and have all items in List C available to bring to Rotorua. We recommend you carry water between Aid Stations. Optionally (but recommended) you should carry any gels or other form of calories with you between Aid Stations.

Race Numbers You MUST have your race numbers facing the front when you line up at the start. Race numbers must be visible because they are recorded throughout the day. If numbers are not visible, we may need to stop you to check your number. Timing chips are on the back of your race numbers. If you are a very fast 60k, 85k or relay runner (i.e. top 2-3% of the field), please write your distance (60, 85 or R) on the back of your calf muscle at registration. This will prevent the top 100k runners from chasing you. We will provide marker pens.

Course Markings Only follow the fluoro pink/orange ribbons in the trees and red arrows. There should be no other markings. Any turns should be obviously marked with these pink/orange ribbons or red arrows. The wrong way will be indicated with hazard or warning tape. Glowsticks, fluoro ribbons/ cones and glow spray will help to mark the course from Awaroa to the Kawerau finish-line.

Aid Stations The Aid Stations are very generously stocked with food – ‘world-famous’ Heather Bars, endurolytes, lollies, chips (chicken, salted and salt and vinegar flavours), pretzels, sandwiches (with Pic’s really good Peanut Butter, manuka honey, jam and Nutella), fruit (bananas, watermelon, oranges, apples), ice, water, Coke, Mountain Dew, ginger beer and HEED. The order of the Aid Station offerings will be: drinks in cups > food > fruit > drink containers to fill your bottles > Gurney goo and sunblock etc. Hammer gels will be in your race packs and will not be distributed to the Aid Stations. We have budgeted on three gels per athlete. If you plan on relying on gels, make sure to bring

no litter

plenty for yourself – do not rely on the gels in your race pack. Signs will be placed 200 metres before the Aid Station. Exit signs will indicate distance to the next Aid Station.

Toilets There are six toilets at the Redwoods Visitors Centre and there will be extra portaloos available. There are also toilets at Blue Lake Aid Station, Okareka (Boyes Beach Reserve), Okataina Aid Station, Humphries Bay Aid Station, The Outlet Aid Station (over the bridge), Tarawera Falls (60km finish) and the finish-line in Kawerau.

Etiquette You will be sharing these trails with hikers and trampers. Please make sure you move off the trail to allow these other users to pass by. When passing slower runners, please indicate that you’d like to pass by saying passing on your left (or right) when overtaking.

Littering and pooing/peeing Do not drop rubbish at Aid Stations or on the trails. Rubbish bins are provided at all Aid Stations. Anyone caught deliberately littering may be disqualified from this race and banned from future events. If you will generate waste on the run, please use a small ziplock bag to stash your trash and carry it with you. Sometimes you will need to poo or pee when you are far away from a toilet. When that happens, you should step well away from sight (25 metres) and very far from waterways. Bury any waste by digging a deep hole with the heel of your shoe. Completely bury all waste.

iPods Yes, you may listen to music during the run. Don’t use headphones on the public road at Okareka, as you will be running alongside cars.

Running Extra (or Less) Distance If you have entered the 60km or 85km and you decide to run further, you must let the Aid Station volunteers at Tarawera Falls and Titoki respectively know you are continuing on. To be fair, please pay the difference at the finish-line (or Sunday morning) if you ran further. Comparing the entry form to the results – we’ll easily know who you are. If you entered the 100km or 85km and you complete the 85km or 60km instead, your result will not show as a DNF. Your results will be your place (and time) for that distance. If you drop at any point during the race, you must let the nearest Aid Station or a course

Withdrawing

** 60km Finish Runners

Any runner who is unable to finish the run must personally inform the nearest Aid Station of their decision to withdraw and make sure their race number is recorded. We will use forest radios to try and contact your crew and it is essential your emergency contact person can be reached. If you do not have a crew, we will do our best to transport you to where you need to go. Usually you won’t have to wait long but there is a chance you may have to wait several hours for a non-emergency lift back to Event HQ.

60km athletes attach the TAR and FIN labels to your 60km finish-line bag. Pack a change of clothes, comfy shoes/jandals, towel etc. for when you finish at the Tarawera Falls. There are beautiful places in the river for a swim near the finish. In Kawerau there are hot pools and free hot showers, so bring a towel. Pack some money for hot food and drinks at the Kawerau finish-line.

Athletes who leave the race without officially withdrawing pose a serious risk to the event safety and will trigger an immediate Search and Rescue response. The race reserves the right to pass on any costs associated with an unnecessary search effort if a runner has not bothered to withdraw before leaving the race.

Dropbags A support crew is certainly not necessary in the event. Dropbags are OPTIONAL for solo ultra runners and can contain your own goodies (gels, food, change of socks, shoes, shorts, Gurney Goo etc.).

New for 2016 For solo ultra runners, you will be provided with an official TUM dropbag label sheet in your race pack. Once you have received your dropbag labels, please attach them to the relevant bag for the correct Aid Station. You should then hand over your filled and labelled dropbags and finish-line bags to our drop bag crew. We will provide labels for all dropbags – these MUST be used otherwise we will not accept your dropbag (our volunteers will be checking). The dropbags must be a soft, reasonable size – do not pack the kitchen sink. Leave your dropbags with us at race registration before 7pm Friday. Please do not use the dropbag service for any Aid Stations where your support crew will be definitely attending. If you have a dropbag at an Aid Station you will be asked to move it from the ‘unused pile’ to the ‘used pile’ even if you did not use your dropbag. This allows us to transport your dropbags quickly back to the Kawerau finish-line. This will help allow the dropbag tent to remain orderly for the benefit of runners yet to arrive. Dropbags must not contain any glass. All liquids must be secure. Attach the correct label from the TUM official dropbag label sheet with the corresponding Aid Station: LAMP

Pack a change of clothes, comfy shoes/jandals, towel etc. Excellent swimming in the river plus free Kawerau hot pools and free hot showers so bring a towel. Pack some money for hot food and drinks. Remember to put your bus ticket in your finish-line bag. Extra bus tickets will be available at race registration on Friday 5 February ($20).

Dropbag Collection Dropbags from across the course will be available at the finish-line. You will be able to collect these by providing your race number to our volunteers at the Dropbag Collection desk in the building near the finish-line. If for you are not able to collect your dropbag from the finish-line on race day, these will be available at the Holiday Inn before and during the prizegiving on Sunday. There are two vouchers on the official TUM dropbag label sticker sheets for you to give your support crew members to be able to collect your gear on your behalf. No one other than you (with your race number) or supporters with those tickets will be able to collect dropbags on your behalf. Dropbags not collected at prizegiving should be picked up from 2 Pukehangi Road, Rotorua before you leave town.

Aid Stations and Cut-off Times (see tables on page 17) These cut-off times will be extremely generous meaning you have ample time to walk tough sections, stop at Aid Stations and still get through. We have no intention of pulling people off the course for going slow. At the same time, we do not want to have runners in the forest at 2am with the possums. These cut-offs represent an average of around 11 minutes per km pace. In other words, just over seven and a half hours for a marathon. The 5.50pm cut-off at the Tarawera Falls Aid Station does not apply for runners completing the 60km solo run. The cut-off times in 2016 are more generous than last year. Cut-off times reflect the deadlines for LEAVING the Aid Station. If you return to an Aid Station after the cut-off, you will be pulled from the run. The Aid Stations will strictly enforce the cut-off times: anyone leaving an Aid Station after the cut-off time will be disqualified. This rule is for the safety of all participants. IF YOU MISS THE CUT-OFF, YOU MUST STOP. Significant sanctions will apply

to anyone breaking this rule. If you do not make the Titoki 100km cut-off time, you will need to finish on the 85km course. You cannot complete the 100km. Note: there is NO finish-line cut-off time for any of the distances. If you make it through the last cut-off time earlier in the race, you can finish your event.

Course Changes from Previous Years The 2016 course has a number of changes that will help you (and the other 1000 runners) get off the start line efficiently, improve safety and ease congestion for runners and spectators/crew in the early parts of the race. The most significant change is over the first 5km of the course with the addition of Direct Road and Hill Road contributing 150 metres of extra elevation gain and 2km of distance. The Blue Lake Aid Station has been moved to the North side of the lake and the Okareka Aid Station has been removed.

Podium Spots and Race Records Runners who switch distances on race day and finish in the top five (men or women) for that distance will still be recorded for their time and place in that distance on the website. For all media, prizegiving ceremony, place-getter medals, and official Tarawera Ultra communications, only those who entered that distance will be acknowledged as being in the top five per distance/gender. Course records will be set by any runner who completes the distance in the fastest ever recorded time on race day. For example, it may be possible for an 85km or 100km entrant to break the 60km course record if they reach that Aid Station in the fastest ever time.

Walking This is a running event, not a walk! Unless you are an exceptional walker (we have had one) you cannot expect to walk the entire course and still finish within the cutoffs. All runners will walk the course at times, especially the uphills. Runners will probably walk more later in the event as fatigue sets in.

Kawerau Finish-line There is ample parking at the Kawerau finish-line and a guaranteed party atmosphere. The race will provide free drinks (a locally-brewed Croucher beer, Monteith’s cider, DB Export Citrus 0.0% and ginger beer and other drinks) and fruit for each finisher (including 60km finishers that join us). Meals and drinks will be available to purchase so pack some money in your finish-line bag for extra food and drinks. Hot food will be available until 10pm on race night – stay behind and cheer in the final runners to the finish of an epic day! There are FREE Kawerau hot pools and hot showers at Maurie Kjar Pools in Kawerau. These are open and free to everyone (including the general public) before 8pm. After 8pm, the pools are booked to the Tarawera Ultra and you are still free to use them. You can only bring beer in to the pools after 8pm. There is a free spa pool and nice hot showers. The hot pools are opposite the Information Centre on Plunket Street, Kawerau.

Lost Property Lost gear, start-line headlamps and dropbags will be transported back to the Kawerau finish area and will be available throughout the day. Labelling or naming

your gear is essential. Any unclaimed gear will be at prizegiving on Sunday 7 February. After that, all lost gear will be stored at 2 Pukehangi Road, Rotorua. We recommend that you claim all of your lost gear before leaving town.

Misconduct The guiding principles of this race are enshrined in the charter of the International Trail Running Association. The purpose of the performance rules for this event is to ensure the run’s integrity as a test of individual performance, providing equal conditions for all. The guiding principles are as simple as: play fair, be safe, and respect the land. Violations of any rules may be grounds for disqualification for one or more years, or other sanctions such as time penalties, fines, and/or disqualification from awards. In the case of very serious breach of these rules, Race Directors of the Ultra-Trail World Tour will be informed of the misconduct with possible sanctions across a number of events. There will be no unofficial runners. Each runner’s official race number must be worn prominently on the front of the body and must be easily visible at all times. Runners must follow the marked trail at all times. Any runner departing from the official trail must return to the point of departure on foot before continuing. Each runner must complete the entire course under his or her own power. No physical or mechanical aids are allowed, including but not limited to mountain bikes or boats. Except in case of injury, distress or medical emergency, runners may not accept pushing or pulling assistance in any form from anyone between checkpoints. Runners may not store supplies of any kind along the trail. Littering of any kind is prohibited. Please respect the natural beauty of our trails and the right of everyone to enjoy them. Runners must refrain from any act of bad sportsmanship. Smoking is not permitted at any of the checkpoints or along the trail. Anyone who smokes in the Tarawera Forest will be immediately removed by security. Both the smoker and their runner will receive a permanent lifetime ban from this event. Any runner who is unable to finish the run must personally inform the nearest Aid Station captain of the nearest checkpoint of their decision to withdraw, and make sure their race number is recorded. Runners who leave the course without turning in their race number will be classified as lost. The runner will be contacted on their cellphone and their emergency contact will be called. If there is no response from either party or the emergency contact does not know the status of the runner, a search will be activated. Costs for searching for any such runner will be charged to the runner. Be respectful of all other users, such as recreational walkers. Runners are responsible for the actions of their support crew. Support crews must comply with all instruction from event staff and officials. Runners may be penalised or disqualified for actions or breaches of the rules by their support crew.

PACERS Pacers are companion runners that can accompany an 85 or 100 runner from various points from The Outlet to the Kawerau finish-line. Pacers run for free. The Pacer’s role is to accompany their runner to provide moral support, pacing advice and companionship in the latter stages of the event. • All pacers must check-in (print your name and sign in) at the finish line in Kawerau and pick up a pacer number on race day. Pacer numbers will be white. This is so we know you are part of the event. • You can pace your runner from the Aid Stations: The Outlet, Tarawera Falls, Titoki, Fisherman’s Bridge and

River Road only. You cannot meet your runner at intermediate points. • Competitors, you can use two pacers – but only one at a time (they must change over their pacer number at an Aid Station and it must visible at all times). • Pacers are responsible for their own transport. • There are no pacers for 60km runners or relays. • Pacers may not carry extra water, food or equipment for runners. • With the exception of an emergency or medical situation, pacers cannot provide any material assistance to their runners.

TRAIL CREW AND VOLUNTEERS An important part of what we do is giving back to the community through maintaining and improving trails in the Rotorua area. On 29 December, more than 50 volunteers came out and cleared trails in the Tarawera Forest, Western and Eastern Okataina walkways and Northern Tarawera Track. This volunteer work is a tremendous benefit for race day, for runners on training runs and for recreational walkers. Thanks to the Department of Conservation and Lake Tarawera Water Taxi and Ecotours for your help. Special thanks to Rob Hammington for bringing a large team over from Hamilton to get the job done. During January, the Kawerau Crew worked tirelessly to clear the final 40km of the 100k course. The crew comprised the O’Briens: Kevin, Edwina, Mathew, Taiawa,

Zhantellie, Audrina and Mihiata together with Sue Walker, Al Spanhake, Zhan Herewini, Uru Awhimate, Melanie McMillian, Daryll Simpson and Verbena McCauley. Volunteers help make this event possible each February. We always welcome friendly and helpful people to help make this event happen. Volunteers are often the most memorable feature of the race for our runners coming from all over the world. Each year, our army of 300+ helpful, energetic, friendly volunteers help feed and water runners, sign them up at registration, rake leaves off the trails, drive boats, mark over 100km of wilderness terrain, assist media, give out hugs and bandage blisters. See more at: www.taraweraultra.co.nz/volunteer or email Nicola at [email protected]

CREW AND SPECTATOR INFORMATION Support crews are most welcome at the Tarawera Ultramarathon. We love support crews – especially those that dress up and cheer loudly! The more people and the more enthusiastic you are, the better the atmosphere for the runners. to speed to see your runner at the next Aid Station. You have plenty of time.

To keep the event manageable as well as fair and safe for all runners, and to make sure support crews do not get lost, there is some information that support crews need to know.

There is cellphone coverage on the first 5km and the last 2km of the 100km course only. The remainder of the course is a cellphone deadzone, so you’ll be unlikely to be able to contact your runner even if they have their phone with them. There is cellphone coverage in Rotorua until you travel a few kilometres past the airport on the way to Okataina, then good coverage again at the 85/100km finish in Kawerau.

Support crews are in for a real treat. This is a spectacular course and you’ll get to see some amazing parts of NZ. Please bear in mind that there will be hundreds of support crew vehicles driving and parking on narrow roads. Please keep your speed down and be careful entering and exiting all parking areas.

Due to forest fire safety, some carparks are some distance from Aid Stations. If you wish to access some of the furthest Aid Stations, you must be prepared to walk (remember how far your runner has to travel on foot, so no whining!). The Tarawera Forest is private land. The forest owners can prevent private cars from entering the forest on race day. This will be enforced by forest security.

Tarawera Forest Permits A forest permit is needed if you take a car into the Tarawera Forest (this includes any Aid Station between The Outlet and River Road). Runners do not need permits, only cars. Each car will need to get a forest permit from the Kawerau Information Centre before entering the Tarawera Forest. There are three ways to do this: 1. Fill out the form online. www.kawerauonline.co.nz/permits/request

2. At registration. Fill in the form in your race registration pack. There will be spare copies at race registration. You can get your permit issued at race registration. 3. Get and complete the form at the Kawerau Information Centre on race day. You will still get a permit but it will likely take a lot longer. If you do not have a permit, Forest Security will prevent you from entering the Tarawera Forest. Please be courteous to Forest Security on race day – they have an important job to do and it is a privilege for all of us to be able to access this land, which is both commercially and culturally important.

Kawerau Finish-line The Kawerau finish-line is on Firmin Field, Waterhouse Street, Kawerau. This is next to the Tarawera River. You will be instructed where to park.

SAFETY IN TARAWERA FOREST In the Tarawera Forest slow down wherever you see cones on the road and/or flashing lights and marshals. These are high-traffic areas or locations where runners may be present.

Keep within the forest boundaries noted on your access permit.

The Tarawera Forest is accessible only via unsealed forestry roads. They are dusty. Do not speed on these roads. Road signs will indicate runners are present. Cars in the Tarawera Forest will encounter runners at the following places:

If you observe any unsafe or suspicious activity (such as smoking) contact ISCL 07 347 8880.

• Following a long, straight forestry road, you’ll come to a bridge over the Tarawera River. Runners will exit River Road, cross over the main road at the bridge and continue along the river track. • A 300-400 metre section before runners make the right-hand turn to River Road. • A 300-400 metre section after runners have left the Titoki Aid Station and passed over the bridge. Spectators travelling to the Tarawera Outlet will encounter runners on the upper end of Titoki Road for about 200 metres. To avoid extreme congestion at the Tarawera Falls, we encourage 85/100km runners’ crews and 60km/relay crews to take two different routes through the Tarawera Forest. These will be signposted. Warning: The forest is a multiple hazard environment ALL vehicles require an access permit. Fires and smoking are NOT permitted. In case of emergency call 111. Unless authorised, do not cut, fell or remove any live or dead trees, shrubs or other forest produce.

Always follow instructions of any forestry security staff (from ISCL Ltd.) – be courteous.

Every permit holder must carry with them photographic identification along with their Access Permit. All people using the forests must comply with NZ law. Always be courteous to other forest users. For further instructions and access instructions please refer to your permit.

Driving HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM AT ALL TIMES – BE SEEN. Always drive to the road conditions and be prepared to stop within half the visible road distance ahead. Observe the speed limits within the forest: - Unsealed arterial (main 2-lane) - up to 80km/hr - Others - up to 50km/hr The NZ Road Code must be observed. Keep left at all times. Park safely – as far off road edges as is practicable. Do not drive in a dust cloud – pull over until the dust settles. Max 30km/hr in any area where runners are encountered on roads.

HAZARDS AND RISKS If an incident occurs, please contact one of the Aid Station staff or a mountain bike safety volunteer, a medical/safety officer or a marshal on the course. They will radio one of the safety personnel to respond, or will call in an ambulance or helicopter. The Tarawera Ultra Marathon is a physically challenging event. Participation presents potential medical risks, many of which can be extremely serious or fatal. Participation in this event is at the runner’s own risk. Although Run Management has medical personnel at various points along the course, the inaccessibility of much of the trail will make it difficult or impossible for medical assistance to reach the runner immediately. Participants are encouraged to see their own medical doctor prior to the event. Runners should be knowledgeable about the stress effects linked to participation in ultra events. It is important for each entrant to recognise the potential physical and mental stresses, which may evolve from participation in this event. Runners may be subject to extremes of heat and cold, hypothermia, hyperthermia, dehydration, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, disorientation and mental and physical exhaustion. Run Management and the medical staff strive to work with runners. They will do all they reasonably can to ensure “safe passage” to Kawerau, but ultimately runners must understand their own limitations. This is one event where it is better to follow the dictates of your body, not your ambitions! Adequate physical and mental conditioning prior to the event is mandatory. If you have not been able to prepare properly, do not attempt to run! 

 Runners should appreciate the risks associated with participation in this event. Actions may have to be taken on your behalf under extreme time constraints and adverse circumstances. We will make reasonable efforts to give assistance whenever possible. Ultimately and primarily you are in charge. Be careful, be responsible, and do not exceed your own abilities and limitations. Some of the main risks of the Run, but certainly not all of them, are listed. These should be understood and remembered by all runners, before and during the event. Please note that death can result from several of the risk conditions discussed below or from other aspects of participation in the Tarawera Ultra Marathon.

Cars There will be vehicle traffic on limited parts of the course. You should be well aware of this when running on roads. Make sure you look both ways when crossing any roads. Areas with cars will be sign-posted, including: • Crossing Tarawera Road as you leave the Blue Lake • Running around Lake Okareka Township as you leave the Blue Lake • Crossing the road a couple of hundred metres before the Blue Lake Aid Station



Getting Lost Although Run Management endeavors to mark the Tarawera Ultra Marathon course, it is definitely possible to lose the trail. If you believe at any time that you may not be on the correct trail, do not attempt to find your way cross-country. If you are sure of your route, backtrack to where you last saw a trail marker and try to find other markers showing the direction of the trail. If you are unable to find your way, stay where you are! Wandering randomly will take you farther from the trail and reduce your chances of being found. If you do become injured, exhausted or ill, STAY ON THE TRAIL. You will be found there either by another runner, or the mountain bike safety patrol that monitor the progress of runners during the event. If you feel dizzy, disoriented or confused, do not risk falling. Sit or lie down on the trail until you recover or are found. An unconscious runner even a few feet off the trail could be impossible to find until it is too late. If you are assisted by individuals who are not associated with Run Management, and you elect to leave the trail, you MUST notify the official at the nearest Aid Station of your decision to withdraw.

Difficulty in gaining access to or locating injured or unwell participants Much of the Tarawera Ultra Marathon trail is remote and inaccessible by motor vehicle. Accordingly, in spite of the many layers of safety precautions instituted by Run Management (including radio communications, rescue helicopters on standby, mountain bike search and rescue personnel and other emergency services and medical personnel at many checkpoints), there is absolutely no assurance that aid or rescue assistance will arrive in time to give you effective assistance should you become sick, incapacitated or injured. Although medical and other personnel will assist you when possible, remember that you are ultimately responsible for your own wellbeing on the trail. Only you will know how your body and mind feel at any given time. Monitor yourself during the entire run, and prepare yourself to drop out at the nearest checkpoint if you find it just isn’t your day. As you continue past each medical checkpoint, be aware of the number of kilometres to the next one, realising that getting rescue vehicles into these areas can be difficult, if not impossible.

Medical support The TUM prides itself on providing quality medical care to all participants and supporters. The following medical services are provided: • Finish line medical treatment areas (at both the Tarawera Falls and Kawerau finish areas). These are both staffed by doctors and nurses • An ambulance is stationed at each finish area

• Crossing Tarawera Road (now in the Tarawera Forest) between the 60km finish line and Titoki Aid Station (85km/100km).

• A defibrillator will be available at each finish area

Darkness

• Volunteers at aid stations who are trained in basic first aid

The event starts before sunrise. It is dark for the first 30 minutes. Headlamps are optional for this period. If you plan on finishing after 7.30pm, make sure you have

48

packed a headlamp in your drop bags or have your crew deliver a headlamp to you.

• On-course event medics who can be mobilised to attend unwell or injured athletes

• Course marshals who can radio for help • Emergency search and rescue

RACE SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS Exercise associated hypernatremia (low sodium levels) Low sodium levels (hyponatremia) in Ultra Marathon runners have been associated with severe illness requiring hospitalization. It is important for long-distance athletes to use fluids containing electrolytes to replace the water and salts lost during exercise. WATER INTAKE ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT, as water intoxication and possibly death may result. This problem may in fact worsen after the race, as the non-electrolyte-containing fluid, which has been accumulating in the stomach, is absorbed. Potassium and calcium replacement may also be important, although these levels change less with fluid loss and replenishment. Signs and symptoms of hyponatremia include: weight gain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion, lack of coordination, dizziness, muscle twitching/cramping and fatigue. There are two ways to put oneself at risk of hyponatremia: 1.

1over-hydration (with water or even electrolytecontaining sports drinks); and

2.

replacing sweat with hypotonic fluids. You should use the salt tablets provided on race day and other salty foods such as chips.

Those at greater risk of hyponatremia include: female runners, smaller runners, slower runners, and runners with a low sweat rate. Risks of hyponatremia can be minimised by acclimatising to the heat, training the endocrine system, salting foods a few days prior to the run, matching fluid and electrolyte intake to sweat losses and monitoring weight. The best way to achieve proper electrolyte and fluid balance is to hydrate with fluids containing proper amounts of electrolytes and to replace with sodium-containing foods or supplements, if required, and as determined during your training. Potassium, while present in many electrolyte-replacement solutions, may also be replaced with fruit, such as bananas or oranges. Beer or other alcoholic beverages should not be taken at any time during the event. Electrolyte-containing fluids should be continued after finishing until the gastrointestinal tract is fully functional, which may take several hours. Once the gut is working and adequate hydration has occurred, the normal balance of thirst, hunger, digestion and kidney filtration will maintain the proper balance of fluids and electrolytes. Kidney impairment

Cases of acute kidney failure have been reported in this event. Renal shutdown occurs from muscle tissue injury which causes the release of myoglobin, a protein material, into the blood plasma. Myoglobin is cleared from the blood stream by the kidneys and will look brownishcolored in the urine. Adequate hydration will help flush myoglobin through the kidneys. Overwhelming amounts of myoglobin may clog the filtering system of the kidneys either partially or totally. If not treated, renal shutdown can cause permanent impairment of kidney function. IT IS CRUCIAL TO CONTINUE HYDRATING USING ELECTROLYTE FLUIDS DURING THE FINAL HOURS OF THE RUN AND FOR SEVERAL DAYS FOLLOWING THE RUN OR UNTIL THE URINE IS LIGHT YELLOW AND OF NORMAL FREQUENCY. 
 Do NOT take any NSAIDs – especially Ibuprofen during this event. It will greatly increase your risk of renal failure. Runners have been hospitalised for taking these drugs in this event. There is a very fine line between hospitalisation / permanent kidney damage and death.

Heat Stroke/Hyperthermia Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious risks. Kawerau is consistently one of the hottest places in New Zealand with temperatures over 30ºC recorded at past races. These conditions can cause death, kidney failure and brain damage. It is important that runners be aware of the symptoms of impending heat injury. These include but are not limited to: nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, faintness, irritability, confusion, weakness, and rapid heart rate. Impending heat stroke may be preceded by a decrease in sweating and the appearance of goose bumps on the skin, especially over the chest. Heat stroke may progress from minimal symptoms to complete collapse, in a very short period of time. Remember that your muscles produce tremendous amounts of heat when running up and down hills. The faster the pace, the more heat is produced. A light-coloured shirt and cap, particularly if kept wet during the race, can help. Acclimatisation to heat requires approximately two weeks. It is recommend you train for periods of at least 90 minutes, in 25ºC heat or hotter, for at least two weeks prior to the event. If signs of heat exhaustion occur, we recommend rapid cooling by cold water immersion or by applying ice to the groin, neck and armpits. Runners may drink approximately one-quarter or more of their body weight in fluids during this event. This means that an average 68kg runner could possibly drink 17 litres or more of fluid, depending on the heat factor and individual differences. In addition to drinking at checkpoints, runners will be encouraged to carry fluids between checkpoints. To accurately measure fluid intake and output balance, weigh yourself before and after your training runs. This will help you establish your personal fluid requirements (especially during the heat of the day). Remember to replace electrolytes lost from sweat and fluids. Every runner has different needs that should be determined during training. 
The best advice in regards to fluids is to drink to thirst Effects of Cold/Hypothermia

Temperatures will likely be warm during the run, but be prepared for changeable cold weather, even during the middle of the race. Hypothermia is a potentially serious risk, especially running late in the evening through to early nightfall since one’s energy reserves will have been depleted from 14-16 or more hours of running. Hypothermia can strike very quickly, particularly when pace slows from exhaustion or injury. The initial warning signs of hypothermia often include lethargy, disorientation and confusion. The runner will feel very cold with uncontrolled shivering and may become confused, unaware of the surroundings, and may possibly be an immediate danger to him or herself. Staying well nourished, adequately hydrated and appropriately clothed will help avoid hypothermia. It is important that runners have access to warm clothing through their support crews, drop bags, or both. If there is any question, carry a light jacket when you leave the final Tarawera River Aid Station. 


Use of Drugs No drugs of any kind should be taken before, during or immediately after the event! Many drugs can increase the risk of heat stroke. Please do NOT use any form of NSAIDS before/during/after the race (this include ibuprofen, nurofen, diclofenac, voltaren, Naprosyn). These 2 0 1 6

have been associated with a number of medical issues including renal failure, gastrointestinal bleeding and exercise associated hyponatraemia. A partial list of other problem drugs include amphetamines, tranquilizers and diuretics. 


Injuries From Falling Falling is an ever-present danger on the Tarawera Ultra Marathon, with potentially serious consequences. Much of the trail is narrow, some uneven and rutted patches occur. 
If you get seriously injured stay warm and send for help - an on-course event medical will attend to you

Muscle Necrosis It has been found that some degree of muscle cell death in the legs occurs from participation in the run. The recovery can take several months. This seems to be a bigger problem in runners who become dehydrated or have overexerted themselves. Medical analysis of blood samples taken from ultra runners shows that this occurs

to some degree in all runners. 


Overuse Injuries Obviously, innumerable overuse injuries can occur, especially in the knee and the ankle. Sprains and fractures can easily occur on these rough trails. Blisters may cause you to have a sore day, or in severe circumstances may prevent you from finishing. 


Common Fatigue One of the dangers you will encounter is fatigue. Fatigue, combined with the effects of dehydration, hypothermia, hyperthermia, hyponatremia, hypoglycemia and other debilitating conditions can produce disorientation and irrationality. Aside from the risk of your kidneys going on strike, collapsing exhausted, tripping over roots, muscles turning to mush, getting hopelessly lost and having to spend a night in the bush huddled up with a wallaby for warmth, have fun!
