Observations, Learnings and Updates

  • Visual (photo) direction published for easy navigation. Number of people losing their way decreases drastically.
  • Distances changed to 14K, 6K and 2K for some obscure reason.
  • Ribbons and trail markings get color-coded by distance. 14K is orange, 6K green and 2K yellow.
  • Decision to hire fewer but technical staff - all paid. Crew size comes down to 22.
  • Free bus service (Ring Road to/from venue) commences.
  • Race starts only after receiving final go-ahead from all checkpoint teams.
  • Sealed off finishline and added timekeeping assistants. Results more accurate. Leaderboard review to ensure no mix-ups in winning results.
  • Hiking removed for 15K distance for safety reasons.
  • Cut-off time set to 5hrs from start.
  • Enforced sign up deadlines to get accurate participation numbers, thus minimizing wastage of food and water.
