Ok thank you all for your insight

I still have another question and i guess many more will come up as we are getting towards the start of the race...

Are there Energy bars at the aid stations ?

Are we allowed to take/put some of them in our Back packs or do we have to CONSUME them ON spot ?

Thankyou

* as for the poles(Raidlights) i have been using them i believe they do take the strain off your legs in such a big race ... i just hope they wont snap but i have seen that the paths are quiet clean ...
