Crew Access Notes

Crew may meet the runner only at Weverton (mile 15.5), Antietam Aqueduct (mile 27.3), and Taylor's Landing (mile 38.7). No crew access on the last 8.4 miles of the course, and no bicycles are allowed on any part of the course; violations disqualify the runner.

Drop bags are not accessible at aid stations — bag transport runs directly from the start staging area to the finish. Put name, address, and phone on the bag, and leave valuables out. Buses return to the Boonsboro Educational Complex from 3:00 to 8:30 p.m.
