FAQ

Q: I've never done a trail run before. Is this a good place to start?
A: No way. In any case, only Club Fat Ass members who can prove they have survival skills training and can run a sub 3:30 marathon on trails will be invited. Preference will be shown to former Green Berets, SAS, US Navy SEALS or other elite military experience.
   
Q: How tough is the course?
A: It's no walk in the park.
   
Q: This event is free, but for Club Fat Ass members only. How do I get into the club?
A: You can register online for a nominal fee.
   
Q: It's a free world. What's to stop me from just running the course.
A: Try it alone and you might die trying!
   
Q: What if I get lost?
A: You may die cold, alone and in excruciating pain.
   
Q: What is the 'Rule of the Trail'?
A: If you pack it in, you can pack it out. (That means don't you dare litter!) Leave nothing but your footprints on the trail.
   
Q: What should I bring on event day?
A: See agenda.
   
Q: I am supposed to be self-sufficient because there is no aid provided. Can I get a friend to come out and give me food and drink along the route?
A: Once we drop into the course, there will be no access for approximately 40 kilometers.
   
Q: Can I bring my friends and family to the finisher party even if they didn't run or volunteer?
