Khandallah School

FAQ

I’VE REGISTERED BUT NOW CAN’T MAKE IT. WILL I GET A REFUND OR

TRANSFER?

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the event and administration system we are unable to refund or transfer to another person.

WILL MY CHILD BE FIT ENOUGH?

This event is all about giving it a go, feeling great and promoting participation. Each participant can take it at their own pace. We encourage them to find a friend to do it with... It’s always easier when you are doing exercise with people who make you laugh.

If, during the event a participant simply feels they cannot continue they will be directed to the nearest marshal and accompanied back down the hill when the last participant has passed. Note: As organisers it is our intention to give them the encouragement to continue. 

In the lead up time to the event, it is advisable that you do a bit of training particularly on uneven terrain and even walk the route, take a photo and post it on our facebook page to celebrate your efforts! When the going gets tough remember

`What goes up, must come down’!

MY CHILD IS OVER 8 BUT I’M NOT SURE HE/SHE SHOULD DO IT

INDEPENDENTLY DUE TO HEALTH OR BEHAVIOURAL CONCERNS?

If you are concerned about this, they can be accompanied by an adult at no extra cost. The more the merrier and you can share the experience together. We will be needing adult helpers to walk within the group. This may be a good way to support your child while also having a role in the event.

IS THE TRACK SUITABLE FOR BUGGIES?

Unfortunately this track is NOT suitable for buggies. We advise that if you are going to take a preschooler on this challenge, you have provisions for being able to carry them.
