The race route is kept confidential and changes every year. A copy of the route will be made available the night before the race for parents and racers to review.
No, parents are not permitted to follow their kids around the course. There are several points where the routes cross roads where parents can wait to take photos. The challenge will hopefully build your child’s confidence that they are capable of doing hard things without needing the help of their parents. There are large numbers of marshals who will give them encouragement. You’re welcome to join our marshal team. Parents being on the course causes overcrowding and also raises safety issues since many parents are less agile than their kids.
