Frequently Asked Questions

Aid stations are placed along each route offering water, electrolytes, and light snacks to keep you fueled through the climbs. We recommend also carrying your own hydration and nutrition for longer stretches between stations.

Yes, a drop-bag facility is available at the start so you can leave a change of clothes, warm layers, or personal items to collect at the finish. Please label your bag clearly with your race number.

A single sealed or clearly labeled bag per runner is accepted for drop-bag storage, within a reasonable size so it can be transported and stored securely. Avoid loose items or bags without a race number.

Routes through villages such as Kiruphema, Sechüma, Mezoma, Khonoma, and Jotsoma are marked with trail flagging and directional signage at key junctions, and marshals are stationed along technical sections.
