( g ) COURSE MARKINGS will be white flagging tape in trees , red arrows taped to trees and dolomite arrows on the ground. Stay ALERT for these markings at all times. Night time is particularly difficult for 100 milers.

( h ) CAUTION - In a few areas competitors may need to cross gazetted roads or follow them for short distances. Care should be taken even though most of these roads have minimal traffic. Also there are sometimes illegal trail bike riders in a few areas. You will hear them coming so give them a wide berth.

( i ) CREW of ultra competitors only should travel only on gazetted roads to access competitors at established checkpoints only. They should not travel on forestry roads or attend to runners between established checkpoints. They should make themselves familiar with the area beforehand and not rely on Race Officials to show them the way to checkpoints. It may be necessary to travel on forestry roads to access Checkpoints 7, 8 and particularly 10 , thus any runner with crew will need to get them to complete the Permit to Traverse form ( limited number available ). NO RUNNER MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE CREW VEHICLE.

( j ) ALL COMPETITORS MUST CARRY AT LEAST ONE WATER BOTTLE . These may be refilled at checkpoints. No cups of water will be put out at checkpoints. Ultra competitors may need more than one water bottle on some of the longer sections if it is hot weather. Failure to start and finish with a water bottle may result in disqualification.

( k ) Do not LITTER the course. Anything taken from a checkpoint should be carried to the next one if you wish to discard it.

( l ) Make sure your number is crossed off at all manned checkpoints and recorded at the finish before you collect your finishers mug.

m) More comprehensive information on trail running in general and Glass House Trail Events can be obtained from the website / www.angelfire.com/mt/glasshousetrails/ ( old site ) ( ultra runners should check this site carefully )or from links to this website such as www.coolrunning.com or www.runtrails.org ( new site ) Results and some photos will go on these websites as soon as possible after the event.

NB 100 MILERS Cut off times will be strictly observed. If officials at checkpoints deem that runners still to arrive cannot make the cut off time then the checkpoint may be closed down after consultation with the Race Director. Any competitor still to arrive will then be picked up and returned to base.

There will be random spot checks to ensure that all ultra runners have not missed sections of the course. If they do make a mistake then they must return to the point of their error and do the correct course or disqualification will ensue.
