Crew Access Points

Pacer Rules

Crew Rules

• Seconding (crew support) is permitted only at CP6 – Balloch (~56km). No crew access at any other point. A shuttle service runs in and out of Balloch farm; no private vehicles beyond the farm entrance. No cell reception at Balloch.
• No crew access outside of Balloch. Crew may not assist runners anywhere else on the course.

Required Gear

• Waterproof jacket with hood and sealed seams (Must be waterproof — not water-resistant. Wind, rain and sleet common on the Witteberg ridge.)
• Waterproof pants (Required to prevent hypothermia in exposed conditions.)
• Thermal top (Night temperatures drop well below freezing with windchill.)
• Long thermal tights (Cold quads and knees fail on descents.)
• Gloves
• Cap AND beanie or buff (Both required — cap for daytime, beanie or buff for night cold.)
• Space blanket (Emergency warmth if you need to stop.)
• GPS unit/watch (Race is entirely self-navigated with no course markings.)
• Headlamp (Reliable primary light essential for night navigation and safety.)
• Spare batteries or powerbank (Electronics fail when you need them most. Carry backups.)
• Cellphone (fully charged) (For emergency communication when signal is available.)
• Whistle (3 blasts = SOS. Helps search teams locate you in low visibility.)
• Trail shoes (Road shoes are dangerous on technical mountain terrain.)
• Two pairs of socks (Change when wet to prevent blisters.)
• Hydration pack (3L minimum capacity) (Long gaps between water points — must carry enough to bridge sections safely.)
• Energy bars and food (entire race supply) (Carry all nutrition for the full race. 100KM runners receive meals at Balloch, Edgehill, The Turn, and Finish — but must supplement.)

• Walking/trekking poles (Recommended for descents.)
