My weather app is predicting a high of 68 and chance of light rain.
Bib Numbers go on the front.
- Use 4 safety pins (one thru the hole in each corner) to attach the bib number to your clothes.
- Do not fold a bib number.
- Do not remove the little bit of electronics on the back of the bib number.
Bib Numbers and the rain – you do not have to place your bib number on any rain gear you might wear. But you do have to wear your bib number on your front (even if you the clothing layer you chose to mount the bib number on is underneath your rain gear). The back-up timing system uses human eyes and video, so be prepared to show a hidden bib number when approaching the start/lap/lap line. Water Stop volunteers might ask you to show a hidden bib number too.
The course for the 50km has changed from last year. We have a new 25km course, and you will do it twice to get 50km. You will do the extra “8k” past the marathon distance in “2km” units, at the start and end of each 25km lap. See the course map for more details.
See you Saturday
