AID STATIONS
Perhaps the one thing that stands out most in the memories of every runner who participates in the Templiers is the devotion of the volunteers who work the aid stations. With a staff of over 800 volunteers, the support given to the runners is unparalleled.
Without the help of these volunteers, there would be no Templiers Great Run. Many of these volunteers spent days making the Run ready and will stay at their stations for over 24 hours. They have given up their day tfor free o insure you the best possible chance of success. They have given up their weekend to insure you the best possible chance of success. So that why we would like you to give volunteer the courtesy, respect and some sincere thanks he really deserves.
The aid station captains have many years of service at Templiers and are "professionals". The aid stations are well stocked with fluids and a variety of foods. The fluids that are generally available are : water, Nutratletic (an energy drink with electrolytes), Coca Cola. The aid stations will also have soup, hot coffee and tea. The foods that are generally available are : salt replacement foods, fruits, cookies, sandwiches, cheese etc.
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
The medical staff has many years of service at Templiers. We feel that we provide the safest and the better medical backup. Several of these people have been participants in the Run, making them all the more aware of the needs of the runners.
DROP BAGS
Drop bags are not allowed (before and during the race)
PACERS
Pacers are not allowed
CUT OFF TIMES
Cut-off times reflect the deadlines for leaving the aid station. If you return to an aid station after the cut-off, you will be pulled from the Run. The cut-off times will be strictly enforced by the Cutoff Coordinators or Aid Station Captains. Anyone leaving an aid station after the cut-off time will be disqualified.
This rule is for the safety of all participants. If you miss the cut-off, you must STOP. AID STATIONS
