Most checkpoints will have some spare supplies of other stuff so if you fancy anything different or have special dietary requirements please ask the CP manager as we may have it put to the side! If you require anything further or have specific dietary requirements you should bring it with you. Please ensure you have adequate 'hill food'. Checkpoints in car parks/laybys will be in robust army tents or gazebos to provide shelter if needed.
The food at checkpoints on the Dragon Coastal races can be seen in the table below. Anything else you require should be carried from the start, contained in your drop bag, or bought at shops or kiosks along the route. You may purchase additional items from any shops, cafes or kiosks along the route. Dragon 100 milers have access to your drop bag at 3 checkpoints (Mumbles, Kenfig, Llantwit) and Dragon 50 runners will have access to the drop bag at the Llantwit major checkpoint. Each of these checkpoints will have access to hot water. To clarify, for 100mile runners this is the same drop bag that gets moved along the route. There is no drop bags for the 50 km route. Support crews are aloud on the route, however it should be noted that support runners / pacers (people running with you on the course) are not permitted in the race rules. We try to accommodate all runners where possible, but we can't please everyone. In some cases you need to take responsibility for yourself and if we are not providing it, then bring, carry or purchase it yourself. Please remember the race is cupless - therefore please ensure you bring a reusable plastic cup with you. For the safety of our marshals and runners, hot drinks will only be served into solid non-collapsible plastic cups with a handle. For the avoidance of doubt, if your cup bends, folds or collapses in any way it is not a solid non-collapsible cup.
