Race Rant:
Competitors are warned that aid support (water, gatorade support will be very limited)—it’s a trail run after all. At said stations runners must re-supply themselves with fluids. Don’t expect aid stations every 3k as in road races !
Expect to be running for a significant period of time between aid stations.
It is further strongly suggested that competitors run with a group or friend! Please be aware wild (ie Moose–duh and others ie bears etc ) and domestic animal encounters could occur–ie horses. Don’t spook the horses!
All competitors are strongly advised to carry enough fluids, gels and supplies to get to the next aid station with plenty to spare. Bear bells, Bear spray and or bug spray are all good ideas.
