FAQ'S - PARENTS
Where will the event be held?
The event will be held at the Brancott Estate, Main Entrance, 180 Brancott Road, Fairhall (same venue as the old Marlborough Wine Festival). The site will be clearly signposted from New Renwick Road. Parking is available close by but you will need to allow time to find a space. You will be able to drop-off bicycles and passengers near to the entrance.
The children will be running and cycling on the gravel roads and grass all within the vineyard. This fabulous venue means that the children will not need to travel on any public roads and the start, finish and transition areas are all in the same proximity.
