Supporters Packages
We provide a package for family and friends supporting you to get involved on event day on their own adventure. A great way to share the experience.
Supporters Package Information
Departs from the Kerr Bay Jetty (exact time dependent on booking - only a small number can be taken on each successive boat trip). Departure is after the start so they can see you off before heading up the Lake.
The boat will take your supporter to the head of the lake where they can begin an unaided walk back to the finish line. This is approx 13km.
Please remember that they need to
bring warm clothing (for all changeable weather conditions) and water with them along with any snacks to get them
through their journey. Lunch will be waiting for them at the Alpine Lodge from 11.30am.
Cost for the package is $60 and includes lunch.
Email us to book a place for your supporter - numbers are limited.
