1. How far is the Pub2Pub Fun Run & Walk?
It's 13 kilometres and takes 2½ hours to walk.
2. How does the Pub2Pub Fun Run & Walk compare to the City2Surf?
The City2Surf is 14 kilometres, whilst the Pub2Pub Fun Run & Walk is 13 kilometres. It's about the same level of difficulty,
with a challenging 800m sand run at the start.
3. Is there any beach running?
Yes, there is approximately 800m of sand at the start. We try to start the race as close to low tide as possible.
4. Are there many hills to contend with?
Barrenjoey Road approaching Newport and Warriewood Hill, which is equal to Heartbreak Hill in the Sun Herald's City to Surf.
5. How many people register for the Pub2Pub Fun Run & Walk?
In 2011 there will be approximately 5,000 competitors.
6. Can my 8 year old join me in the Pub2Pub Fun Run & Walk?
Unfortunately the minimum age is 10 years old. Children younger than 10 are not permitted.
7. Where are the toilets located?
Toilets are located at the surf clubs along the route.
8. Where are the water stations?
There are 4 water stations, located every 3 kilometres at South Narrabeen Surf Club, Warriewood, Mona vale and at the finish line.
9. When do registrations close?
If the Fun Run is not already full, entries will close at 5pm Friday August 19 2011.
10. I missed the cut off date for registering, is it too late?
If the Fun Run is not full, late entries are accepted, however a $10 late fee will apply.
11. Can I register on the day at the start of the Pub2Pub Fun Run & Walk?
No, there are no registrations on the day - you must be pre-registered.
12. When will I receive my race bib?
Your race bib, timing chip, confirmation letter and any merchandise will be sent via Australia Post to your mailing address.
Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.
13. Do I need to collect a timing chip on race day?
No. Starting from 2011 we will send you your timing chip in the mail.
14. How does the timing chip work?
The timing chip will start the second you cross the electronic mats at the start and stop when you cross them at the finish line. Your time DOES NOT start when the gun fires, so there is no need to rush across the start line.
15. When I clicked "Make Payment" during registration I was taken to another site - is this normal?
Yes. We use the payment services of our banking partner Bendingo Bank. See the sample screenshot for what to expect. You will note that the screen reads "Merchant Name: Rotary Pub2Pub Fun Run".
16. I was asked for more than just my credit card details - why?
Depending on your credit card provider and account you may be asked for additional details beyond the card number, expiry and CVV.
17. Do you store my card and / or security details?
No. We do not store these details and have no access to them.
18. Is there an alternate start line?
No. In case of emergency (i.e. the lagoon breaking its banks) the start line will remain at Dee Why SLSC and the course will go via Richmond Avenue to join Pittwater Road.
19. Are there parking facilities available at Dee Why?
Yes. Dee Why Civic Centre carpark (at library) – approx 300 spaces (950m walk), Howard Avenue carpark – 200 spaces (700m walk), Meehan Reserve – 180 spaces (50m walk) and surrounding streets.
20. How do I get back from Newport to my parked car at Dee Why?
There is a public bus service at the Newport Arms Hotel, passing every 30 minutes, which can take you to the Dee Why Bus Stop on Pittwater Road. It does NOT go to the Dee Why SLSC carpark.
21. What time does the course close?
Walkers should note that due to limited RTA manpower the course can only remain open until 10am.
