Drop Bags and Crew Access

Drop bags may be left at the Beck's Road aid station.  Runners will access this aid station 4 times during the race.  Please mark your bag for Beck's Road and leave it at the start line prior to the start of the race for transportation to the aid station.  You may also leave a drop bag at the Zoo turnaround and start/finish.  You can access your vehicle here at the halfway point as well.

Crews should have access to the Magney-Snively and Becks Road aid stations.  However, please be aware that Skyline Parkway is rough due to runoff and Becks Road is under construction.  We would encourage crews not to go to these aid stations if possible.  Access is poor and your runner will have access to drop bags at Becks Road and fully stocked aid stations.

  1. Can you please clarify (especially for those not familiar with the area) which aid stations are which as the names used above do not exactly correspond to the ones in the post about aid stations.

    It seems that you are discouraging crew access to any of the aid stations outside of the Zoo. But I am a bit hazy on that as well.

    Thanks!!

    1. Magney-Snively aid station is the first aid station you get to. Elys Peak aid station is the 2nd aid station and Becks Rd aid station is the 3rd aid station you would get to on the course. We would discourage crews at the aid stations due to the road construction and rough roads. The zoo is wide open for crews of course.

  2. Thanks!

    So:
    Skyline = Magney - Snively
    Ely's Peak = Ely's Peak
    Munger = Beck's Rd

    Gotcha!
