Quick Facts
Getting There
The Riverside Precinct is located just five minutes from Wagga Wagga CBD, making it easily accessible for participants staying centrally. Parking is available at the venue, though carpooling is recommended as spaces may be limited on race morning. Unfortunately, public transport does not operate on Sunday mornings in Wagga Wagga, so driving, cycling, or walking are your best options. Registration opens at 6:30 AM, so plan to arrive by 7:00 AM to collect your bib, warm up, and secure parking before the first race starts.
Weather & What to Pack
April in Wagga Wagga brings pleasant autumn conditions, with morning temperatures typically ranging from 8-12°C at the early start times, warming to 18-22°C by mid-morning. Expect crisp, clear mornings with low humidity, ideal for running. The sun rises around 6:30 AM, providing good visibility throughout all race distances. Dress in layers you can shed as you warm up, and don't forget sunscreen and a hat for the later start times. With minimal rainfall expected in April, conditions should be excellent for achieving your racing goals.
