Answers

Can children be part of the team?

Relay For Life is a family event, so children are very welcome to attend.

What happens if it’s raining?

Relay For Life goes on – rain, hail or shine. Dress appropriately! It will still be great fun. There is usually some shelter at the track, but bring appropriate wet weather gear just in case!

Do we stay all night?

Many people have commented that the night stint is one of the most beautiful parts of Relay For Life. The PA is turned off at about 11 pm, but people continue to make their own fun playing cards and board games, getting out guitars or listening to Walkmans. Those who are tired can catch a few hours sleep in their tent, while others stay up encouraging members who are on the track.

Do we camp overnight?

All or part of your team may to choose to camp out, or you may use your allocated camping space as a meeting place. You don’t have to rough it. Mattresses and camp beds are fine. Remember to bring warm sleeping bags and rugs, deck chairs and torches.

Are vehicles allowed on the track?

All vehicles are prohibited from the track without permission from the committee. Child strollers and wheelchairs are allowed. We suggest contacting the venue committee before the event to determine restrictions.

Can I bring my dog?

Dogs and other pets are not permitted at any Relay For Life event. Please do not bring your dog/pet to the venue as they will not be allowed into the venue. Naturally, guide dogs are an exception to this rule.

Will food be available?

There will be food for sale at the track grill.

Will first aid be available?

All events will have a team of qualified First Aid officers in attendance for the entire event.
