With the Haney to Harrison 100km race start about 36 hours from now, I am finalizing my gear for this race in which solo runners are required to have a crew of at least one person to keep them hydrated and fed along the way.
Tim has agreed to crew for me, and doggy Luka will be along to keep him company. We drove the course two weeks ago to help us on race day which starts at 4am, so it will be dark for the first 3 1/2 hours. Aside from the 17 solo runners, of which I am one, there are also plenty of relay teams which start as early as 6am.
The relay teams will swap runners at Exchanges 1 through 7. This is also where solo runners need to swipe a timing chip, worn on the left wrist, across a timing mat. Here's my list as it stands right now:
Race number
Race rules
Waiver
Runner information sheet
Reflective tape (on clothing plus spare)
Headlight plus spares, plus flashlight in car
