Yes BarefootEm, according to the maps there are tea tents at all of the starts. It would be mean if they gave tea to some runners and not others. Don't be nervous!

Thank you becca7! I am more nervous at the moment about forgetting something, or getting lost, or missing something than I am about the actual run! :(

Does anyone have a check list of things you need to take with you? It's all about the lists for me!!

That is good. When you go to register (if you have not already done it) remember to take photographic ID. Then when you do register they put all the important stuff (number and timing chip) in an envelope that they seal before giving it to you. They also give you a red drawstring bag for kit that you want to put on the baggage trucks.

Other than that it is the usual stuff that you would need for a race.

8.45 Green Start in front of the tea tent.

Blue Start meeting in front of the tea tents.

Red start by the bandstand, as it has always been.

has been 8.30 in the past but with the start being a little later 8.45 might be preferable.

Look in the mag for maps of the start areas but it should be fairly easy to find the tea tents.
