The useful details, from the kitchen table to the last checkpoint.

Before the start

Pack what you’ve practised.

Turn your hourly fuel and fluid targets into supplies for each leg. Review what you carry, what’s in a drop bag and what you still need to confirm.

Example packing note

“Keep the first leg’s fuel within reach. Label the next refill. Put the familiar savoury option somewhere the crew can find it.”

Illustrative note. Fuel, fluid, sodium and caffeine needs are individual; practise your plan in training.

Out on the course

The next checkpoint. Not the whole mountain.

See your next leg, an arrival window and the margin to the cutoff. Forecasts are estimates; the organiser’s cutoffs are the limits to check.

At the aid station

Let your crew be your crew.

Share the saved plan, drop-bag notes and checkpoint tasks. Download it on each device before reception disappears; queued updates need a connection to sync.

Example crew handoff

Find the labelled bag before the runner arrives.
Check food, bottles and the next leg together.
Confirm the torch and warm layer before leaving.

Illustrative checklist, not confirmation of crew access. Follow the event’s support rules.
