Race Logistics

Each team is responsible for its own transportation between the 12 handover checkpoints. A tracking device serves as the team baton, passed between runners at each checkpoint. The organizing team provides fuel, water, and medical support at checkpoints. The entire team is allowed to run the final leg together from Sanquhar to Forres if they choose.
