MTC MizMal ®

Breakfast:

Where possible we do get a hot breakfast, but this isn't always possible, depending on where we are staying and how earlier the race has to start. If we can't do the hot option, we generally go for fruit, yogurts, porridge pots etc. Any special requests are also considered.

Evening meals:

Most evening meals are eaten out in the hotel or at restaurants. Alternatively competitors can choose for take-away options, pizza, fish and chips, chinese etc, where available. Nobody goes hungry.

Included is the evening meal only, we don't pay for starters or desserts or drinks - these are at the costs of the individual.
