Question time for ATMR

A number of questions are asked of Around the Mountain Relay organisers, some of which have been answered here: Can you book more supporters/managers on arrival? Yes you can. However, what can be booked will be

limited to what is left. Can we have special accommodation? Yes, but not if you want us to organise it. The only inside accommodation available are large cold hangars. Military barracks are not available for accommodation.

Will the weather befine ? Yes. However I haven't seen any pigs flying either. The weather in Waiouru can be extreme, so competitors should be prepared for any eventuality. Why must we arrive before the race starts on Saturday morning?

So you can register your team's arrival. The Reception Centre will operate only for the hours 3 - 10pm Friday night. If you arrive after your race has started you may impede your team's chances of winning. Can we buy T Shirts on arrival? Yes, a limited supply of T Shirts will be available for sale. Will there be drink stops ? The only drink stops available will be those the managers arrange for the team members. There is a change over point every eight kilometres, for safety reasons we suggest these points are used. . Can / bring children . along and are they liable for supporters fees? Children are permitted provided they are under the direct supervision of an adult at all times. If they do not require rations etc. then fees are not payable. Children are not permitted at the function. What does the manager 1 do? A good question. A manager can be a runner if required. However they are our point of contact for the team and the team' s spokesperson. The manager is responsible for the team. Can we add/delete supporters nearer Relay day? Additions to the team will be treated as mentioned. Any refunds are treated as stated in paragraph 22 of

the Administration Instruction. Can we purchase extra function tickets? A limited number of function tickets will be sold at theFunctionEntrance. Cost $20.00. Are there any showers? Showers are available at the Rugby grounds, the Gymnasium and at the Hangar. Is there any transport available after the Function to Ohakune or Taihape? ATMR will not be providing any transport. What makes people think? Think what?
