All drop bags will be returned to the event HQ in Dale once the Broad Haven CP has closed at approximately 1930 on Saturday.

Race Crew and Supporter Notes

Race crews are allowed on all race distances, but please strictly adhere to the guidance notes above.

Pacers (support runners) are only allowed on the100-mile event.

There is strictly no support crews or race supporters at the Molygrove or St Davids checkpoint as these are on private land or sensitive locations with limited traffic access. Any crews or supporters turning up at these checkpoints will cause a time penalty for their runner.

There is no support crew parking directly by the checkpoint at Fishguard, and instead supporters or crew should park in the local public car parks, and walk to the checkpoint. Runners must still report to the checkpoint even if they are only planning on meeting race crew in the car park. Failure to report to the Fishguard checkpoint results in a 30 minute time penalty .

Also please note that you may need to pay for parking if you are parking in any public car parks, even if the checkpoint is there.

Drop Bags for the Ultra 100km

The 100km Ultra races have an an option of using a drop bag which will be taken to CP5 (40 miles) at Glyntawe. You will receive your drop bag at registration and you can only use this drop bag. Drop bags may get wet during transit, so if there is anything which you must keep dry it should be put in a waterproof plastic bag or drybag inside your drawstring drop bag.

The drop bags are pictured below and are the same standard issue drop bags that we have used at other events. You can re-use bags from previous races if it helps you to pack them before the event - just remember to clearly label them with your race number and drop bag number for the current race!

Drop bags will be handed to the race team at the race start and bag drop will be open from 30 minutes before the race starts.

All drop bags will be returned to the event HQ in in Brecon and return can be expected from 1100 on the Saturday morning.

The images below show a fully packed drop bag (left picture) with the kit that was packed into it (right picture). The spare kit includes some size 9.5 HOKA Stinson trainers, a spare winter mid-layer, spare running leggings, spare t-shirt, spare socks, K-tape, lip balm, s-caps (electrolytes), body glide (lube), blister plasters, and some additional energy gels, drink powders and wine gums for the next section of the race. Of course it is up to you to decide what to pack in your drop bag.

Please remember that your support crew and any event supporters should be polite and respectful to the event team volunteers and respect the local communities which the race passes through. Any abuse or aggressive behaviour towards fellow runners and volunteers will result in instant disqualification or time penalties to the runner.
