Race Etiquette

• The use of headphones is discouraged in all races for the safety of all entrants.
• Always follow the directions of all race officials and emergency service personnel.
• Position yourself at the start line according to the Start Zone you nominated when completing your race entry. It is clearly printed on the front of your race number to allow a smooth start for all entrants. If you wish to run with friends/family and they are in a different Start Zone you may start in a slower zone than that printed on your race number (e.g. someone with a B Zone label may start in B, or C but not in A).
• Entrants who are walking in the 5km must start from the rear of the field.
• Please do not stop or change directions suddenly.
• Keep to the left of the course to allow people to pass on the right.

Weather Policy

The Toowoomba Marathon presented by Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport will monitor race day weather conditions to determine if extreme heat or other weather conditions will have an adverse effect on entrants and associated events. Through our duty of care to our entrants, we reserve the right to indefinitely cancel or delay an event/s at short notice in the interest of entrant safety. The hot weather policy is consistent with Sport Medicine Australia’s Hot Weather Guidelines but entrants are reminded that they also have a duty of care to themselves and should only undertake the event if they are adequately prepared and medically fit.
