For those of you running the Rucky Chucky 50k this Saturday, RD Robert Mathis sent out the following important update last weekend. Be prepared to stock some food/water for the 13.9 mile stretch between aid stations!
Hi all,
I have some urgent news that everyone needs to know. Norm Klein(Cal 2 Aid Station Captain) talked with Greg Soderlund(who talked to the owner of the property on the way to Cal 2) late yesterday and we found out there is no vehicle access due to mud and 12-24 inch ruts in the road. We cannot get aid down there due to this. This unfortunately means there will be no Cal 2 aid station. This also means there will be no aid for the first 13.9 miles(as well as the last 13.9 miles) until Sandy Bottoms. All runners will need to carry 3 bottles(or camel back) to stay properly(and safely) hydrated. Please plan to load up on beverages and food at Sandy Bottoms aid station. I am sorry for the inconvenience but the above normal rainfall has caused this issue.
I need everyone to reply back that they have received this email as I want to make sure everyone knows. I will be calling all runners without email addresses or ones that don't reply. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email or call me.
Thanks again for your understanding and see you next week,
Robert Mathis

Sounds wet, muddy, and adventurous! It's going to be great.
