Hard Labourers take part in all three events. By registering as a Hard Labourer, competitors will automatically get entered into each separate event. You don’t have to be a hard out competitor to enter all three events. Give it a go just for the experience.

We reserve some of our best spot prizes (scenic flights and accommodation) just for the Hard Labourers. See the separate events for details on courses, rules, safety and prize-giving.
