Don't Forget...!!!
1. Familiarity : Knowledge of trail eunning offers both physical and mental advantages during the Run. Participants should make a reasonable effort to experiment as much as possible trail running before Run Day. Particular attention should be given to those sections that you expect to run in the dark, when your mental and physical energy may be lagging.
2. Night : each runner must carry aled flashlights. If your lights fail, wait for another runner with a light. Do not try to find your way in the dark. To avoird this problem, don't forget extra batteries.
4. Trail markings : Trail markings will consist of white and red surveyor’s tape tied to branches. In addition, 400 Glo-Sticks will be place along the first 22 km to brighten the trail at night.
5. Drops : If you have to drop out of the Run at a point where your crew is unavailable, we will make every reasonable effort to get you to the finish or to the nearest major checkpoint that is still in operation, particularly if you are in need of medical attention. In non-emergency situations, you may have to wait time before being evacuated. Our principal responsibility is to put on a Run, not to run a shuttle service for non-finishers, so please be patient. Aid stations will close when the footed sweeps or drag riders arrive.
6.Trail Etiquette : Please be courteous to other runners. If you wish to pass another runner, ask for “trail right” or “trail left” before attempting to pass. Slower runners must yield the trail to runners wishing to pass.
