  • No muling: pacers may not carry anything for their runner.
  • Pacers must carry the same required gear as runners, except the GPS tracker.
  • Pacers may eat at aid stations while pacing. The race does not transport pacers, so they must be able to reach the next crew-accessible stop.

Crew Rules

  • Crew may meet runners at Far East Lot, North Shuttle Lot, Tiger Road, Duck Creek, French Pass and CMC Breck.
  • No crew at Peak One, Montezuma, Hall Valley or Lodgepole. Going there disqualifies the runner.
