There are two major route changes for 2026 and the relocation of Checkpoint 1; amended route details will be posted before entries open. Five checkpoints are provided on the route offering food and drinks, and a hot meal is provided at the finish for all participants and helpers. Entrants are issued a laminated number card and a tracker device; trackers must be returned at the finish or at a checkpoint if retiring. The 40-page map and route booklet will not be available this year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
