Dropbag for Grizzly 100 & 83k

You will receive a so called Dropbag from us (60cmx40cm) when collecting your Bibnumber at the registration office. Place the sticker with your bibnumber on the dropbag. This dropbag can be used as your own supplykit during the race at the Aidstation Manege. Grizzly 100 participants will pass this aidstation twice.

– You can leave your dropbag 15 minutes before the start at one of our vans near the starting line.

– Loose objects will not be accepted, please use the provided dropbag.

– Don’t put too much in the dropbag, only the essentials.

Dropbags will be brought back to the finish line after the last participant has past the aidstation. We estimate that your dropbag will be back around 19:00h at the finish line. If there isn’t anything in your dropbag that you want back you don’t need to wait for it, we will throw it away.
