Highly Recommended

The race HQ based at the Finish and the CP marshalls and sweepers along the route will be the runners’ only interlocutors to whom they may turn concerning any problems they encounter. If necessary, they will be responsible for alerting and co-ordinating the public rescue services.

• The runners should initially use their first- aid kit.
• Should they need to consult a medic face to face they should go to the nearest CP manned by Medics (CPs 3; 4; 6; 7; 8 and Finish).
• In an emergency or when it is impossible to move, alert fellow athletes, the race HQ and the Race Safety Officer by any way possible.
• Stay on the ROUTE supplied. Do not deviate off the route unless it is required to obtain cell phone signal.
• If possible proceed to nearest CP for help.
• Determine your GPS co- ordinates to be able to inform race HQ.
• Stay warm, dry and visible.
• DO NOT PANIC.
• Self rescue to nearest CP is optimal.
