Below is the same route map featuring the hydration stations, key stations, and Dream Chaser stations.
- Hydration stations will have water and Gatorade. This will be placed at every 1.5 km of the route.
- Aid Stations will be placed at every other hydration station (approximately 3km). These will have basic first aid kit, petroleum jelly (vs chafing), salt sachets, Tiger Tail foam roller (vs tight muscles), and Bodivance (for blood circulation and to battle cramps) manned by a nurse.
- Key Stations will have more stock of water and Gatorade. These will also have sponges, ice, bananas, Cadbury Zip chocolates, and Tiger biscuits.
- Dream Chaser Stations will have 10-14 runners who will cheer you on and support you to get you through each kilometer. Most of our Dream Chasers now are alumni of TBR Dream Batch 2010. This time, they’ve gone the extra mile—literally and figuratively—to surprise you with super creative and unique ideas for each tent. I heard some have prepared music, cameras, and tons of food!
- Others:
- Hammer Gels will be distributed at the assembly area at 1:30 AM. They will also be placed near the 10km station and 21km station. We have allocation of 3 gels per runner.
- Kinesio Taping will be available before and during the race to be placed by certified professionals. Until supplies last.
