There will not be a verbal support crew briefing on race morning however support crews are very welcome to attend the Friday night pre-race briefing.
Support crews are not required and they are also not really necessary as the drop bag service at Checkpoints 3, 4 and 5 is quite adequate to allow you to compete successfully in the event. If you do choose to have a support crew, they are only permitted to assist runners at Checkpoints 3, 4 and 5. These checkpoints can be accessed with a standard 2-wheel drive. For event management and safety reasons, support crews are not permitted at, or anywhere near the top of the Golden Stairs, Checkpoint 1 or Checkpoint 2 even just to watch. This means that support crew must not drive, bike ride or walk on any section of Glenraphael Drive (the access road to Checkpoint 1) and support crew must not drive, bike ride or walk along Megalong Valley Road South of the entrance to Checkpoint 3. Along Glenraphael Drive there is no room to travel or park without blocking off the narrow dirt access road to Checkpoint 1. This would prevent First Aid crews and event staff from being able to access the course. For Checkpoint 2 the runners travel on the only access road to the checkpoint so it would be unsafe to also have support crew driving, riding or walking out and back on this narrow and winding dirt road.
Live results will be available on the internet. You should estimate how long you think each leg will take so your support crew can use this as a guideline of when to meet you at the allowed checkpoints. You can also phone your support crew during the event to let them know your progress.
Driving directions from Katoomba to Checkpoint 3, within Private Property beside The Six Foot Track in the Megalong Valley.
