Support Crew & Spectator Info

SUPPORT CREW (also known as Assistance)

Support Crew is only allowed for MUT MILER, MUT100 AND MUT60. Support crew is not allowed for MUT Marathon, MUT Challenge and MUT Lite. Outside assistance is not allowed on the route, and it is forbidden to accompany or be accompanied along any part of the route (by any person that is not registered to partake or form part of the organisation e.g. sweep). Support crew is only permitted at specific aid stations and only in the area reserved for this use and at the discretion of the aid station captain. It is important that support crew adhere to the rules and follow instructions from the aid station staff. • Each MUT Miler, MUT 100 and MUT 60 runners is only allowed to designate one person as their support crew. • Support crew may only provide assistance in the areas designated for Support Crew. • Support crew must wear their support crew wristband to have aid station access. Without this wristband, access will be refused. • Support crew is only permitted to provide their runner with a bag that has a maximum capacity of 30 litres. • Support crew may not enter other areas of the aid station that are not designated for assistance. • Support crew may treat blisters, attend to cuts and scrapes, and provide massage to their seated runner. No serious medical assistance, and other interventions, are permitted, and no runner that is lying down may be attended to. The locations where support crew can provide assistance to a runner can be downloaded from ‘Authorised Support Crew and Spector Points’
