All entrants in the 200-mile option must have a crew of at least one person responsible for supporting the runner full-time. Pacing For runners of all distances, pacers are allowed and encouraged at all times. Pacers' times and/or distances can also be listed in their own section of the race results. Pacers can ride a mountain bike, run, or do a mix of both. A no-muling rule would be difficult to enforce and could, in certain circumstances, make a bad situation worse. So, pacers and crew are allowed to carry things for runners to eat, drink, or use. Everyone out on the course should help each other achieve their goals. Crew Vehicles For mid-course parking, the several road crossings are great places to park a vehicle and meet your runner. Please see the map link on the course page. No crew vehicles are allowed on the rail-trail portions of the course. |
