Drop Bags

Tarps are laid out to leave at race start line on race morning, or Friday packet pickup. Have them marked with your name, bib number, and aid station they are going to. Keep bags a reasonable size and weight. The size of a small gym bag, 12 x 12 x 36 inches. 15 pounds or lighter. Drop bags leave for aid station at 7 am on Saturday. They are returned when each aid station closes. You are welcome to pickup your bag early.

We suggest having your drop bags in a rain resistant package.

McMiller: 19.5, 45.3

Hwy 67: 29.8, 36.8

Nordic: Mile 0, 63.1 and 100.6

Hwy 12: Mile 77.4 and 86.3

Scuppernong: Used to be a drop bag location, if you felt you needed something there you can leave it in the building on Friday night. There will be no return service for those bags.

At each aid station we will have a “return” tarp. When you will no longer need your drop bag put it on the return pile. If we have enough volunteers we will return them throughout the race. Otherwise they will come to Nordic as each aid station closes. You can look at Aid station page of website to see close times.

Suggested drop bag gear

  • Directions and preset gps coordinates for your crew

  • Change of clothing. Rain is always a possibility at Kettle

  • headlamp or hand lights for night running

  • Favorite snack/ aid stations are well stocked but it is nice to have snacks from home
