Q: Can I have more than one supporter on the mountain?
A: No, we have a strict policy of only one support runner on the mountain section. This supporter must also carry the mandatory safety kit and stay with the runner for the duration of this part of the course. This is for safety and tracking reasons. The mountain is dangerous, the weather unpredictable and we do not want to have people on the mountain we cannot account for. This policy will be enforced at the mountain safety checkpoint – T2a.
