FenlandRunner Feb 2014 10:49am, 19 Feb 2014 656 posts	0 FenlandRunner Have I got it right that a support runner is optional? It's just thinking about my crew in 2015 (e.g. family) Daniel (eldest son) is the only one that could be my support runner but he would be the driver and may find that multitasking difficult!!!

santababy Feb 2014 11:58am, 19 Feb 2014 70,169 posts	0 santababy runner is optional for you, BUT you must have someone capable of running out to get you should you get injured etc or need help in any way

HappyG(rrr) Feb 2014 5:53pm, 19 Feb 2014 21,792 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Runner is mandatory if you get to one of the check points later than a certain cut off (maybe you know you will be ahead of that, that's why santababy said "for you")? I interpreted that it was mandatory for eveyrone because it could happen to anyone, even the quickest, that they still want to continue, but have been held back by injury, fatigue or other unforeseen circumstance. I'll try and find the rule from website...
HappyG(rrr) Feb 2014 5:55pm, 19 Feb 2014 21,793 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) westhighlandwayrace.org Any runner leaving Glencoe Ski Lodge after 9pm Saturday or Kinlochleven after 10pm Saturday must be ‘paired up’ with another runner or a member of their Back Up crew. ... All runners must have motorised back up for the full duration of the event. Up until Auchtertyre you need at least one crew member, and from Auchtertyre onwards you need a crew of at least two people, one of whom must be capable of accompanying you during the last two stages if required.
