Food
If you are going to take part in an ultra event and cover 50KM on foot, then you’ll need to ensure that you are fuelled correctly to maintain energy. Whilst individuals are responsible for ensuring that they have what they need to get them to the feed stations we can guarantee that there will be plenty of food available should you require a top up or something extra to help you on your way.
From our own experience, the sight of a well-stocked feed station is itself an assuring motivator and instils confidence of a well organised event. You can expect that treatment at HUT and we don’t intend to be reserved with the amount of food that we make available. It is also our intention that any surplus perishable foods will be donated to a local foodbank so you can expect that there will be something for you especially if you are treating the event less competitively than others.
Please do let us know if you are gluten free, vegan or have any other diets. If you are able to do this, then we can plan and cater appropriately for all situations. If there is a food item that we don’t provide and it is key to your race, you either need to carry it or consider not entering this event.
A quick summary of food you can expect to be available at each feed station
Holme Village – Food – Sandwiches, Fresh Fruit, Cakes, Crisps, Sweets, squash & coke.
Wessenden Head (Marquee) – Food – Something high carb based, Creamed Rice, Fresh Fruit, Cakes, Savoury snacks, Sweets, hot drinks (subject to availability), a nip of something stronger, squash and coke.
There will be plenty of food and drinks available at The event Centre throughout the day for everyone including any supporters waiting to see friends and family members.
