ENTRY LIMITS
There is a maximum of 350 entrants across all distances. A wait list will be put in place should the event sell out.
REFUNDS & ROLLOVERS
Refunds and rollovers are permitted but are subject to the terms set out in the Race Manual.
QUALIFICATION
Due to the nature of a 200 or 100 mile event, it is hard to draw a line about what each runner can achieve, especially with runners coming from all over the world and not being familiar with each runner. As such, we have drawn the conclusion that each runner knows their own abilities better than anyone else and our philosophy will be that if you are delirious enough to consider entering, then you are delirious enough to enter.
Runners must be at least 18 years of age on the day of the race. The 5 Miler runners must be 6 years or older.
CHECK IN
Check-in schedules, briefing times, and locations differ across all categories, ranging from Northcliffe and Walpole for the 200M/100M, to the Albany finish line for the shorter distances.
Attendance at your distance’s pre-race briefing is strictly compulsory. Head to your specific Distance Race Info page for full timings, venues, and transit schedules.
DROP BAGS
Drop bags are only permitted for the 200, 100, and 40 mile runners at all aid stations. Once you’ve checked in, place each drop bag into the designated area for its corresponding aid station.
Please label them clearly with your BIB NUMBER, NAME, and AID STATION.
Please consider the size of your drop bags, if you're only putting a small item in a drop bag please try to use a reasonably small drop bag. Please don't use those plastic ziplock bags - the birds have learned how to open them (and they will!).
COLLECTION
Drop bags will be available for collection by your crew at each aid station, or at the finish line until 3pm on the Sunday.
TRANSPORT
Runners are responsible for arranging their own transport to their start line and from the finish in Albany. The only exception is the 40 Miler, which includes an official shuttle bus departing the Southern Terminus finish line directly after check-in closes.
COURSE SEGMENTS
The Delirious WEST course isn’t just one long blur – it’s an epic adventure made up of unforgettable sections. We've put together a detailed look at what lies ahead, from Northcliffe to Albany, broken down into manageable chunks so you (and your crew) can plan, prepare and pace like a pro.
AID STATIONS
There will be 21 aid stations (11 for the 100 milers) providing water, electrolytes, Coke, and a carefully selected menu with a variety of sweet and savoury meals, tea and coffee.
Please note that each aid station will vary with its menus and are there to assist you, but it is still highly recommended you have your preferred special requirements in the drop bags for each aid station, especially those with dietary requirements.
40 miler and 20 miler runners will have access to all aid stations, however, only to basic aid station supplies (water, electrolytes, Coke, lollies and chips).
You can find more information about our aid stations, including distances and crew accessibility, on the STAGE-BY-STAGE page and the specific Race Info page for your distance.
CUT OFFS
Strict cut-off times are enforced across the event to ensure competitor safety and manage volunteer resources. Sleep stations and the finish line operate on tight departure windows.
Sleep station cut-offs apply to the 200 and 100 miler distances. Please visit your distance's Race Info page for the complete breakdown of aid station cutoff times.
PACERS
Runners are permitted only one pacer at a time, transitioning strictly at crew-accessible aid stations. Pacers must carry the same mandatory gear as their runner (excluding maps and tracker batteries), supply their own food and water, and must never carry gear or fuel for their runner.
All pacers must be 18 years or older unless approved in writing prior to race week. For complete pacing rules, please refer to the Race Manual and the CREW INFO page.
MANDATORY GEAR
Carrying the correct mandatory safety equipment is strictly required for all competitors in the 200, 100, 40, and 20 Mile events. Gear checks are conducted prior to race start.
Runners and pacers must carry the mandatory equipment. Any runners found breaking this rule will be disqualified.
Detailed, itemised gear lists differ by distance. Please visit your specific Race Info page for your distance to view the full requirements.
VOLUNTEERS
The Delirious WEST is a logistical ultra in itself and the event relies on the help of a big team of volunteers to make it happen.
If you would like to help out for an experience you will never forget, please complete our Volunteer Register form.
All volunteers will receive a Volunteer Tech Shirt, and eligible volunteers will receive an Ultra Series $400 credit or Ultra Series 20% credit to use on any upcoming Ultra Series Event (to be used in one transaction).
