• To give athletes the opportunity to 'Drop Down' in distance after entering the Double / Triple due to injury or unforeseen circumstances.

MECHANICAL ASSISTANCE

Paul Wagstaff, a former mechanic for the Shimano race team, will be on-site to look after all your mechanical needs during the race.  This will be a basic service, just to get you back on the road again.  The service will only be available in the athlete village.  If a cyclist has a mechanic problem out on the race course, they must return to the athlete village under their own steam.  If the cyclist returns before making the bike turn-around point, they must start this lap again from the village after their bike is repaired.

The mechanic will have very minimal spare parts.  Any part taken from the mechanic must be paid for in full either by the cyclist or their support team before they continue with the race.

MEDICAL COVER

Xtreme Medics will be the the medal cover for the event, located inside the athlete village who are Specialist Medical and Rescue Services experts.  Extreme Medics combine the skills of extreme sports with specialist medical training to provide medical cover where the risk of injury is high and where the location is remote or environmentally hostile. Their clinical staff are always State registered health professionals, mostly paramedics with remote area medicine and extreme sports experience and they are supported by specialist rescue technicians where required. Their staff, vehicles and equipment mean they can provide advanced life support and primary care in all environments no matter how harsh.

MASSAGE

Tim Pepper from Burntwood Osteopath Clinic will be providing free sports massage for all athletes on the bike and run stages. Pre race massage can be booked with Tim by telephoning 01543 684980. Tim's clinic is located only 5 miles from The Friary.

On-Site Catering

KK Catering wil be on-site 24/7 throughout the event selling hot and cold drinks, baguettes, baked potatoes, sausage, bacon and egg sandwiches etc.

SUPPORT & SUPPORT CREWS

Although it is highly recommended that every athlete brings at least one support crew member, it is not a condition of entry.  Consideration should be given to bring at least 2 support crew members to allow one member to sleep while the other supports.



The athlete village (at the beginning/end of every bike & run lap), will contain portable loos and a feed station.  A marquee will be located within the village that will contain the athlete's event’s bag and seating for the athletes to replenish. 

The athletes will pass the support crew camping area on both the bike and run courses at the same point.  This is the only point that the athlete is allowed to leave the course and must do so after informing an official.  The athlete will then be able to eat, drink, sleep or change with their support crew if required.  The athlete must then inform an official when he/she wishes to continue.

In the interest of safety, an athlete whilst competing will either be on the race course or in the support crew area having informed an official.  An athlete leaving these two areas will be observed as a withdrawal from the race.

Athletes without support crews may pitch a tent in the support crew area if they wish.  However any valuables left unattended will be at the athlete's risk of loss.  Support crew vehicles will not be allowed to drive on the bike course during the event.  This is for the safety of the athletes.  Vehicles will not be permitted onto the camping area.  Please note the entrance to the athlete village from Eastern Avenue is also the bike route.  Campervans may use the support crew area however they will be unable to drive out of the village until after the last athlete has completed the bike course.  Campervans must be in position before 04:00hrs on Saturday 7th August.  Alternatively campervans may park with the remainder of the athlete's / supporter's vehicles approximately 300m from the athlete village in the leisure centre car park.

CAMPING

THERE WILL BE NO CAMPING IN THE EVENT LOCATION ON THE EVENING OF FRIDAY 8th August 2010.  Tents can be erected on the Friday but no sleeping / cooking / use of toilet facilities are allowed.



There is an area for support crews to erect a tent or gazebo which overlooks both the bike and run turnaround points.  Care must be taken not to damage the field by cooking or tents and support crews are responsible for taking all their own rubbish away with them from the site after the event. A bin liner will be provided in the Race bag for athletes to collect at registration.   They may remain there until 08:00hrs on Monday 9th August.  Remember that this is not a campsite.  The school have been kind enough to allow support crews to pitch a tent to help supporters in inclement weather and for resting and cooking.  You will need to bring your own bottled water.  Whilst the leisure centre is closed, support crews will only have access to 3 x Portable loos.  

Pacing from support crews will not be tolerated.  Crews must NOT join the athletes at any stage during the bike stage.  Discretion will be used during the run stage but supporters must first speak with the race organiser. Supporters will run no more than 1 lap in every 5 with the athletes.
