Weather & Clothing-
Weather in the morning from 5:00am to 7:30am is very cold. Some of us may need hand gloves, full sleeve t-shirts and track pants/ shorts. If your body is not very sensitive to cold climate then you should be able to manage the run-in shorts and half sleeve t-shirt. But do carry gloves, track pants/3/4th tights, full sleeve t-shirt/light jacket. Decide on the spot how much you need. Wearing multiple layers is also helpful in countering cold. Days are pleasant and slightly hot. Carry warm clothing for normal use. Nights are cold.
Cut off Limit for 80Km (5:30am to 5:30pm)- Area becomes dark by 5:30 hrs. By that time the run will be over. If you (80Km runners) are still on the road and struggling to finish then you will be picked from the course, even if you don’t want to quit. The last loop U-turn i.e., 60Km mark must be crossed by 3pm.
