I would think help on the ground would be what would be needed most. With the previous event, there were a couple different pre runs that needed to be done which is quite a task when each time I was driving 2 to 3 hours one way just to get to where I needed to be. They ended up being long days. I was also quite stressed out being the only person that knew the route (which was questionable due to gps issues). This could have been a real issue also if my rig would have broke down or something.

In a perfect world, I'd love to have multiple leaders. Realistically, if we kept the format of parks, a few phone calls is all that's needed to set up the dates. However, creative and fun routes between the parks is needed and I would love to have a different person run each portion. Somebody who is familiar with the area that could also provide some fun info. For instance, while prerunning some sections with Pat B, he was able to take us to a couple places and also offer some insightful info about the area that I though was cool. Not to mention being able to tell us about certain areas that were fought with the DNR over, which spreads awareness about GLFWDA, which is ultimately what we and this event are about. In the end, local knowledge of the trails is sooooo much better than some guy just following a gps. It would be cool to have some of the clubs maybe show us some of their favorite spots. Maybe even get onto some private property. Everyone knows a guy who has a trail cutting through their back woods. Even if they are short trails, it would be cool to hit some trails that aren't normally available.
