START LINE

Please take note of the Start Line for this years' MS Brissie to the Bay event is at Russell Street.

Plan ahead and make sure that you arrive no more than 15 mins prior to your allocated start wave.

You can access the Start Line assembly area from Edmonstone Street. 

If you forget or misplace your rider number, please head to the Start Line tent, where our team will be able to assist you with a replacement.
