Crew Rules

CREW RULES – A crew can be an important part of your race effort, and they are welcome for runners, according to the following rules:

  1. Crew support only at designated aid stations – Your crew can help you in pretty much any way, but ONLY while you are checked in at one of the five crew-accessible aid stations. Crews are ONLY PERMITTED at the Start/Finish Line, AS3 Little Pine Bottom, AS7 Hyner Run, AS10 Tomb Flat, AS12 Blackwell, and AS14 Barrens.
  2. One crew vehicle per runner – Parking is limited at many of the remote aid stations, and some of the access roads are narrow and dusty. It will be nicer – and safer – for everyone if there are fewer vehicles moving about. Each runner will be issued one and only one crew vehicle pass that must be displayed.
  3. Aid Station flow – Aid stations can be busy places, and it’s important that runners have a clear route in and out, with easy and quick access to the station. Please find an out-of-the-way place (but within 50 yards of the station) for your crew activities so you don’t add to the congestion, and please obey the instructions of the Aid Station Captain – the station is their space and their responsibility.
  4. Do Not Disturb the Communications Team – The Communications Team is there to ensure the safety and whereabouts of each runner. They are not there for you to answer if your runner has checked in at an aid station. There will be an assigned volunteer at each crewed aid station that can answer any questions you may have if time and circumstances permit it.
  5. Crews may volunteer – We’re really one big trail family when it comes down to it. Crews are free to help other runners if they want to, or to help out the aid station crew (if it’s alright with the aid station captain.)
