Updates (I will try to add information as it is asked)
Q - Is a runner allowed to stop to take breaks?
A - Absolutely! It isn't a speed event, but a time on feet event. You can stop to change clothes, eat and drink, use the bathroom. All we ask is a participant doesn't leave the site and come back.
Q - Is there a place to setup a tent to get changed in?
A - Yes, the middle of the track is a huge grassy field. We will have a place sectioned off for runners.
