Drop Bag and
Support Crew Info

Drop Bags

You need a maximum of two drop bags/bins. The Searchmont bag will stay at Searchmont (CP2, CP5, CP11) for the entire race, then move to the finish. The Stokely bag will start at CP7/CP8, then move to CP13.

Only people without support crews need a drop bag. Please keep your bags or bins under 20kg (45 lbs) and a reasonable size. If we have a whole pile of huge bags, we may not be able to fit them all under the tents, and then they will be out in the elements.

Support Crews + Pacers

Support people (aka Support Crews) are often a lifeline during a long race. Support people help keep their racer moving. If you intend to support a racer, do not be afraid to ask questions – we want your experience to be as rewarding for you as it is for the competitors.

There is variable cell coverage outside of the town proper. Any emergency communications should be done through Race Staff, who are all equipped with a radio or inReach. The tracking information should be online at all times so please refrain from asking for competitor updates. You can also use the provided inReach to communicate.

Support crews and pacers can only go to the designated CPs. Receiving assistance (coffee, food, clothes, bandage, a place to sleep, etc.) anywhere else on the course will result in the racer being disqualified. We work hard to ensure fairness for all competitors and to keep it a level playing field, so we need everyone to respect this rule.

Pacers must start and stop at main aid stations only. We cannot provide transport for your pacers, unless it is a medical emergency.
