No; you are to have 2litres of fluid with you and at least $20.00 which you can purchase additional fluid or nutrition if you run out. We do not know what your route is so we can not have a drink station on course.

Should the event have to be cancelled due to force majeure, disease or pandemic there will be no refund of entry fee as all expenses have generally been spent in marketing, set up and administration.
Although we do offer CJM'S Cancellation Insurance that can be purchased for this reason, this is individually offered and if purchased and the event is cancelled for any reason including Force Majure, Disease or Pandemic your entry fee is refunded in full. No merchandise is refunded.
