MARSHALLS & SWEEPERS
Marshalls and sweepers have given up their time to help out at this event, some marshalls/sweepers their full weekend. Marshalling/Sweeping is a long tiring job and marshalling an ultra event is, well, ultra long and tiring but in its way very rewarding helping you guys achieve your goals. So if you are feeling a bit grumpy, hide it, be pleasant and thank the marshalls. Yes you are still capable of this after 100 miles! Any bad treatment, abusive language etc given to a Marshall will result in that competitor being disqualified from the race.HARDMOORS 200 COMPETITORS
Along the 110 course you may pass or even be passed by Hardmoors 200 competitors, when they get to Scalby and join the 110 course they will have run close to 100 miles and missed one nights sleep already (my heart bleeds ;o) ) So be supportive to them and give them a few words of encouragement like " only another 100 miles to go" or "I'm glad I'm only missing one nights sleep" etc. No, seriously, a couple of words such as "well done" will go along way for them. Their race number will have obviously 200 on it plus different colouring to your own. Oh yeah they may look a bit more knackered than you do too, well maybe ;o)RULES AND REGULATIONS
These can be found on this website, but I would like to bring up to your attention the following.Litter and noise
As ultra runners the majority of us have a great deal of respect for our surroundings. So please live up to our values and do not drop litter and please be quiet while passing through communities at night.Stick to the race routeAs well as the declared checkpoints there will also be several undisclosed checkpoints, if you stick to the route and DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS you will stumble across these CPs. If you miss any of these checkpoints then you will be disqualified.You must stick to the seafront through ScarboroughShut all gatesWhen you pass through a gate YOU MUST CLOSE IT!!Support Runners are allowed from Runswick Bay to the FINISH only (It is optional to have a support runner not mandatory). Support runners must not carry any of your gear.MARSHALL /RACE CONTROL
What ever the Marshall/Race control say is final! If at a checkpoint a marshall or Race Control informs you that you should not continue for whatever reason, THEN YOU DO NOT CONTINUE!! If you arrive at a checkpoint after the checkpoint has closed, then you have timed out and your race is over!RUNSWICK BAY
In event of the tide being in at Runswick Bay, you MUST wait with (or near to) the marshall, until he allows you to proceed. The marshall's word is final, if you continue without the marshall's say so, you will be disqualified. The time you have waited for the tide to go out and the path safe to cross, will be recorded and subtracted from your finish time.FOOD (At Checkpoints and Race Finish) THIS MAY CHANGE
Various Checkpoints along the Hardmoors 110 route will provide basic food (those checkpoints are listed above) Checkpoint food will be packaged version of flapjacks, haribo sweets, salted peanuts, biscuits etc to complement your own stores.Hot drinks will be available at Ravenscar and Kildale. For a hot drink you will need to carry a cup that will take hot drinks (no cups/mugs will be provided) We can provide hot water for example a pot noodle that is from your drop bag. Hot food will be provided at Kildale Village HallThere will be basic hot food at the race finish as well.FROM THE END OF THE CLEVELAND WAY TO THE RACE FINISH, THE ROUTE WILL BE SIGNED/TAPEDRACE MEDICSJulian Hall and medical team will be on hand throughout the course of the weekend.TIMETABLE
