Mayo is a hidden gem, it is nice and tidy and we like to keep it that way. There is a station approx every 5KM and they will have black waste bags. Please drop your waste in one of those bags. In the end, we are not cyclists! We take this really serious, when you get caught throwing waste in the ditch or bushes you will be disqualified.

Water stations approx. every 5KM. Some will have fruit, jelly beans and/or coke. The people manning the stations are surrendering a day to give you a chance to do what you like best, namely running a race! So please be kind to them!

You are allowed to make use of five drop bags, you can use them from 20KM onwards. If you want make use of them then please drop them in the right box at the start. Mark them well so you will be able to find them easily.

You are allowed to use pacers from 65KM onwards. That is from station 13 (Killeen church). Please let us know if you will make use of a pacer!

Two cutoff times. The cutoff time of 11 hours to finish the race remains but last year we introduced an additional cutoff in Killeen (station 13). You must be past this station by 4:00PM, if you arrive at this station after 4:00PM your bib will be taken and your race will finish there.
