The location of Hanglip Lodge, the views, the animals, the staff at the lodge, and the race day experience and the secret ingredient - the amazing camaraderie of the other runners at the lodge - it all came together in a magical experience. I would also like to highlight what Albatros and MTT does well, which is involving spectators in everything and recognizing their importance. Many of us runners would not be doing these trips if our partners were not involved in this way. Thank you for that, and please continue keep spectators front of mind.

Marcie came to our lodge (Hanglip) to check in, which I thought was nice as she wasn't staying there. We also saw her around the finish line on race day and at the celebration dinner. Given the disparate location of the lodges this may have been a challenging one to support, but I felt the level of onsite support was good. She had provided her contact info ahead of time so that any of us could reach her if necessary.
