Race Kit Inclusion: Runners will receive a race bib, timing strap, RAW towel, and brunch buffet

Requirements for each Participant: Each runner is suggested to bring, a headlamp, hydration pack, reflectorized vest, and medic kit.

Race Support: We will have five (5) refueling/hydration stations along the route located every +/- 5Km.

Cut-Off:
Runner A: 4 hours
Runner B: 5 hours

The first runner needs to finish his 25.2Km race within 4 hours and the second runner must be able to get back to Blackwood Resort in 5 hours. The reason behind the difference in cut-off between Runner A and Runner B is because of the elevation and starting time of the race. Runner A can expect his race to be cooler (5 AM gun start) and the course is rolling (descending) for the first 16Km while his teammate will start only after his teammate arrives at the U-Turn and his course will be a steady ascend for 15 kilometers making his race much tougher.

Timeline:

5:00 AM: Gun Start for Runner A
6:00 AM Runner B will need to board Shuttle Vans parked at the Activity Area which will take them to the U-Turn, Mark.
7:00 AM to 9:00 AM Shuttle Runner A back to Activity Area
