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 stay at Stokely Creek Lodge. 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 the main aid station only. This is a long way, so they must be as prepared as their racer. We cannot provide transport for your pacers, unless it is a medical emergency.
