Energy bars are muesli or chocolate bars. Fruit is a combination of oranges, bananas, fruit salad. Tea / coffee is available at all checkpoints with 'hot water'. Toast with butter and jam. Sandwiches are jam, peanut butter, chocolate spread. Most checkpoints will have some spare supplies of other stuff so if you fancy anything different or have special dietary requirements please ask the CP manager as we may have it put to the side! If you require anything further or have specific dietary requirements you should bring it with you. Please ensure you have adequate 'hill food'. Checkpoints in car parks/laybys will be in robust army tents or gazebos to provide shelter if needed.
Anything else you require should be carried from the start, contained in your drop bag, or bought at shops or kiosks along the route.
You may purchase additional items from any shops, cafes or kiosks along the route.
You will have access to your drop bag at 3 checkpoints (Mumbles, Kenfig, Llantwit) on the 100mile route and 1 checkpoint (Llantwit) on the 50 mile route. Each of these checkpoints will have access to hot water. To clarify, for 100mile runners this is the same drop bag that gets moved along the route.
Support crews are aloud on the route, however it should be noted that support runners / pacers (people running with you on the course) are not permitted in the race rules.
We try to accommodate all runners where possible, but we can't please everyone. In some cases you need to take responsibility for yourself and if we are not providing it, then bring, carry or purchase it yourself.
