Packet pick-up and pre-race plan: The Holiday Inn in Key Largo is race "headquarters". Sheriff's deputies assist runners and direct traffic at necessary road crossings. On-course support: Runners and relay teams will be supported by race marshals, who check for runner safety and rules compliance, medical staff located along the course and monitors at strategically placed timing mats. A printed, final version will be included in the "Race Guide which will be distributed at packet pick-up. A list of allowable locations to exchange runners is posted now as "Runner Meet-Up Locations" under the "Need to Know" website tab. Teams decide their own race-day strategy. Runners do not have to stay in order nor run the same number of legs or miles. As always, teams decide how many legs each teammate runs, the order in which they run and the distance. Relay team structure: For teams, up to six runners may form a 100-mile team, and up to three runners may form a 50-mile team. IT IS A "MUST SEE" FOR ALL BUT THE MOST EXPERIENCED ULTRA-RUNNERS AND SUPPORT CREWS. Crew is responsible for getting the runner to the race start and from the finish, and to transport and care for the runner in the event the runner is unable to complete the race.įOR THOSE RACING FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH A SUPPORT CREW, AND FOR FIRST-TIME CREW MEMBERS, OUR BEST-PRACTICES VIDEO, "CREWING A RUNNER AT KEYS100", IS POSTED UNDER THE "WANT TO KNOW" TAB. The individual runner's crew will leap-frog their runner along the course, stopping every few miles at approved locations only to provide the runner with water, food, ice, changes of clothes, gear and whatever else the runner might need during the race. There are many places along the course to re-stock supplies and purchase prepared food. Individual runners and teams are expected to be self-sufficient.
There will be no aid stations or water stops along the route. However, while not recommended, two (2) runners may share one crew. Important note to individual runners: Each runner MUST have their own support crew in 2023.
