Hiking poles

Runners may choose to take hiking poles with them, but they must carry them for the entire duration of the race. It is forbidden to start without poles and pick them up during the race.

No poles are permitted in drop bags.

The use of poles is prohibited at the start and finish of the race and within aid stations, and may be prohibited in certain areas marked by specific signs along the course, for safety or environmental reasons.
