Refer following link for list of the locations that crews are welcome to meet runners. Runners must not be crewed or supported at any other point than those listed below

Note: Crews should be equipped with torches and first aid kits.

Pacing — NOT YET

Pacers are allowed from 50 miles mark. For me that do not know the course, it will be very useful, and help me to focus on running only — and avoid all the mental stress to find the route.

One person have contacted me. He will come back to me if he was able to sort out some practical things.
