So, this year, as part of our sustainability efforts to eliminate unnecessary waste, we’re putting the power in your hands to customise your Run Pack to Rock Star and pay only for the items you really want.
RPC is where you will collect your Run Pack with all the items required for your event day experience. RPC will be held on Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November. The location and operating hours will be announced soon.
