Starting waves
Starting in an earlier wave is not possible. If a friend is running in an earlier wave, you cannot start in that wave with them. A check will be carried out at the entrance of the starting area based on your starting number, which indicates your assigned wave. However, starting together in a later wave is possible. You do not need to take any action, and you will be granted access to a later wave with your starting number. Starting in a later wave is not disadvantageous; you can start calmly, and there will be pacers – including for fast runners – in each wave.
Refreshments
There will be four aid stations along the course:
- Aid station 1: at 1.9K (water)

Pacers will be provided for 1 hour, 1.10 hours, 1.20 hours, 1.30 hours, 1.40 hours, 1.50 hours, 2 hours and 2.15 hours. Pacers are easy to spot in your starting area with their colored flag indicating the finish time.
