Aid stations are provided approximately every 10 miles with a mix of sweet and savoury snacks, water, juice and coke. Marshals supervise major road crossings and an experienced medical and safety team operate on route. Finishers receive medals and there are prizes for first, second and third male and female finishers. A 14 hour cutoff applies.
