In a world first over a decade ago the Baviaanskloof Trail Run introduced their 'No Cup, No Run' Rule.

Unashamedly we followed their excellent lead. At the Rhodes Run everyone must carry their own cup, reducing landfill and avoiding litter being blown into the veld. 

No cups on our feed station tables.

Well, there is one exception.

The Tiffindell team at the Quarry Check Point provide a selection of fiery fluids to assist you to cross the 'tufts of terror'.

Yip, we do 'a Nelson' and Tiffindell is the only feed station permitted to have 'cups' for their special fuels.1

Reminder for our Class of '19, run with your cup, or you could find yourself meditating at a Check Point.2

Notes:

1 - Special fuel (synonym) to numb the legs

2 - Meditating (verb) reflection or wishing one had started with a cup
