is
strongly recommended however that all runners perform a reconnaissance of
their
stages before the event.
Teams
Teams must be pre-entered and must consist of between 2 and 6 runners. An
entry fee
is payable for each team member.

Included in
the entry fee is a meal at the finish for all competitors.
