Race Registration

---

Runners may share a support crew**: 

Every runner in the individual races must be supported by a dedicated crew, but up to three (3) runners may share one crew. [**This increase to three is a major change from 2023.] To work successfully, however, runners should be of similar capability and/or be willing to run within a reasonable distance of one another so that crew can do their job. Runner needing help? Runner drop? The crew is responsible for you and must be near you to be effective. Do NOT expect race staff to do your crew’s job. Be sure to watch the instructive “How to Crew” video under "CREW INFO".

Self-sufficiency: 

You are responsible for carrying all necessary supplies in the support vehicle, or purchasing them along the way—drinks, food and ice, equipment and supplies that might be needed during the race. On course there is lots of race support: staffed timing stations, medical team and race marshals and others monitoring runner safety and rules compliance. There are stores and restaurants and portable toilets, but there are no race-sponsored aid stations offering food and drinks. Plan accordingly, and use resources available on the race website to help you prepare and organize before race weekend.

The crew’s job:  

The individual runner's crew will leap-frog their runner along the course, stopping every few miles at approved locations only listed in “Meet-up Locations” to provide the runner with water, food, ice, changes of clothes, nighttime gear, and whatever else the runner might need during the race.  IT IS THE CREW'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TRANSPORT THE RUNNER(S) TO AND FROM THE EVENT START AND FINISH LINES AND TO CARE FOR AND TRANSPORT THE RUNNER(S) IN THE EVENT THAT THEY DO NOT FINISH THE RACE.

Crew must register:  

Crew members are considered dedicated runner volunteers. ALL participants in the race must register, using the “Volunteer Registration” process to comply. Be sure to enter the name of the runner being supported where requested to do so.

Vehicle: 

Your support vehicle should be large enough to accommodate all necessary gear, allow room for luggage and space for crew and for you, the runner, if you take a break, while complying with strict rules regarding vehicle size and type. Read that standard very carefully and ask in advance if unsure.
