  • Why do I need a vehicle and two drivers?

    The minimum of 2 drivers are also runners in your team of 5. Your car travels down the route carrying the teammates who aren’t running that leg. The changeover points are clearly marked and this is the spot to collect one runner and drop off the next.

Each driver must be comfortable driving in France including into the centre of Paris.

RunGo acts as a SatNav for runners and will provide turn by turn directions for each runner – a headphone is recommended. Team mates, friends and family will be able to follow runners progress on the live tracking device and this will act as your baton to pass between teammate at the changeover points and handed into basecamp HQ each evening for recharging.
