Cobbler Pool 6km adaptive wheelchair - Sat aug 26

CHECK IN:   1:00pm - 2:00pm

START TIME: 2:30pm

The Transcend 6km Adaptive Wheelchair event takes on a slightly modified route from the 6km Hike / Run but don't worry it is still feature and obstacle packed!  The course is on a private property opposite Cobbler Pool, Morangup and takes you on an adventure through an alpaca farm. At the halfway point there will be an aid station, so you and your support team can top up on supplies if needed. You then join the Transcend Ultra and Team Relays for the last 3km of their course and come through to the event village for those finish line feels. 

Please expect approximately 230m of elevation over this course, uneven surfaces, large boulders to navigate around and open paddocks.

We are allowing you a three hour window to complete the course which should be achievable if cruising the whole way (2km/hr). 

Due to the proximity, time of day and distance you don't require as much mandatory equipment but we have still had to take some safety precautions. 

1. We are proudly partnering with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy. We are requesting every event participant to try and make the effort to fundraise 20 AUD+ for their great cause. Please note every donation over $2 is tax deductible.  

2. Please collect 5 pieces of rubbish out on the trails. This can be done prior to the event and closer to home. Please take a photo of you and your pieces of rubbish. We would also love it if you posted your efforts to your social media and tagged @transcendtrails so we can give it a share. Present this photo for your bib pick up on the event day or at the opening ceremony. 

3. Please note it is mandatory to wear your bib number on your outermost layer.

4. A good working order adaptive wheelchair and capable team (4-6 physically fit people) to help you through the course. The team need to be capable of pushing / pulling you up and controlling you down fairly steep grassy / rocky hills. 

- Fully charged mobile phone in waterproof bag (can be a zip lock bag), with Race Director numbers saved on it. Please note only Telstra phones have consistent reception in this location. Pre-paid phones are a great option if you aren't with Telstra.

- 500ml water reservoir 

- Rain Jacket (if wet or windy/cold)

- Thermal (only in very wet and cold weather conditions)

It is also highly recommended you attend our Adaptive Wheelchair course familirisation session. Dates and times will be communicated to those that express interest. We will attempt to find a date / time suitable for all.
