Checkpoints

There are 9 checkpoints spaced between 15 and 20 miles along the Ring O' Fire course and 3 checkpoints along the Firelighter course.

Ring O' Fire: Your resupply bag will be transported from the start point to checkpoints at Moelfre, Beaumaris, and Rhosneigr. Our logistics team works diligently to move your resupply bag along the route, ensuring it reaches each checkpoint ahead of your arrival.

Firelighter: Your bag will be transported from the start point to the finish at Moelfre. Since you won't have access to your bag during the race, you must carry everything you need while running.

On arrival and departure of a checkpoint, each runner MUST register with a checkpoint volunteer.

You may stay at a checkpoint for a maximum of 4hrs, but you must reach the next checkpoint before the designated cut-off time.

At our checkpoints, you can expect:

Support: Encouragement from our incredible team of marshals.

Updates: Weather and race updates, cut-off times, and distances to the next checkpoint.

Food and drink - likely options at checkpoints:

	Water: Essential for hydration.
	Fruit: Bananas, oranges, and grapes for natural sugars and potassium.
	Salty snacks: Pretzels, salted nuts, and crackers to replace lost sodium.
	Savoury snacks: Small sandwiches or cheese sticks for a more substantial option.
	Sweets: Fruit pastilles, gummy bears, and chocolate for quick energy and a morale boost.
	Trail Mix: A mix of nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate for protein, fats, and sugars.
	Soup: Warm and salty options to soothe and balance electrolytes.
	Energy bars: Various flavours from our sponsors to cater to different tastes.

What do people say about us?

"I'd really like to thank you and Quentin and your team for putting on a first rate event, probably operating on even less sleep than the runners were getting and yet being friendly and helpful when we dragged our weary asses through the door at midnight."
