This page is dedicated to runner support crews.  Both the support crew and runner need to familiarise themselves with this information as it will make your event more enjoyable.Runners are responsible for the actions and behaviour of their support crew.

To make more of a weekend for the support crews it is worthwhile knowing the attractions and food places there are along the route.  Visit Chilterns have a great webiste listing attractions, Public Houses and Farm Shops along the route and across the Chilterns.

During the Event

During the event the Race Officials can be contacted on the telephone number provided within the entry confirmation email. DO NOT ask race officials for directions.  Their responsibility is safety and management of the event.

Support crews may not meet their runner(s) at the following checkpoints:

- Nuffield

- Goring

- East Isley

Please see here for a complete list of permitted crew locations, inlcuding alternative locations for the above checkpoints.  

Support crews should be mindful that they are not to give their runner an advantage over runners without support crews, eg, giving them a lift back to the course should they have gone wrong or harbouring them from poor weather in their vehicle. If a support crew has to 'rescue' their runner then the runner should declare themselves out of the event by contacting the race director by phone. Any runner receiving assistance that provides a competitive advantage and may incur penalities as deemed suitable. The race director's decision is final.

Make a note of the following hospitals should your runner need urgent medical attention.
