Event Information
The course is marked with reflective orange flagging tape approximately every 250 meters and red directional arrows on a white background at intersections. Red crosses indicate incorrect paths. Participants must carry a headlamp or torch.
All checkpoints provide water, electrolyte, and a small variety of food, but no disposable cups are supplied. Participants are required to carry their own cup or bottle. Mandatory gear includes a mobile phone with emergency contact numbers saved, a race bib, a water bottle or hydration pack with a minimum 500 ml capacity, a compression bandage, and a headlight. Marathon participants have access to a drop bag zone near the start/finish.
The event does not allow support crews on the course; they are permitted only at the start/finish area. Spectators are welcome at the start/finish area, which is the only location to view runners.
Entries close several days before the event, and no entries are accepted on the day. Refunds are available until a specified date, subject to an administrative fee. All finishers receive an event memento. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
