These rules may be cited as the Tropical Rainforest Run 2025 Rules.
In these Rules:-
“TIMPOHON RUN” means the Timpohon Run event. “COMMITTEE”, means the Organising Committee for the Timpohon Run.
“PARTICIPANT” means the participant of the Timpohon Run duly registered with the Committee.
2. ATTIRE
Each participant is free to choose their own attire for the Timpohon Run; however, the use of transparent clothing is strictly prohibited.
3. BIB NUMBERS
Each participant will be assigned an official bib number, which must be securely attached with safety pins to both the front and back of their attire. Bib swapping is prohibited. This is particularly important as emergency contacts are registered with the bib number, ensuring no cheating. Any participant found swapping bibs will be immediately disqualified, and their identity will be shared with all running events.
4. CUT OF TIME
The time limit for the loop route from starting point and end shall be within 4 hours 30 minutes.
Note: Runners who exceeded the cut of time(s) will be “swept” back to the ending point.

6. DRINKING WATER SUPPLY
Runners are required to be self-sufficient on the course, with water/aid stations (W) set up at intervals of approximately 2 to 3 kilometres along the marked race route for refilling hydration packs or water bottles. Please remember to bring your hydration pack. While water bottles will be provided at the event, we strongly recommend that runners also bring their own hydration packs.
7. CHECK STATION JUDGES
Check station judges with official name tags will be based at various check station(s) along the route. Each participant is required to pass through all check stations; failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification.
Any participant who decides to drop out during the race must notify the race staff and proceed to walk back to the starting/finishing line.
