<p>We've done a number of runs like this we'll typically send out 10 gallons of regular and about 2.5 of decaf. Sometimes we could have used a bit more sometimes there's leftovers. If its going to be early in the morning you may want to have the ability to restock.</p>

<h5>The runners won"t drink coffee and about 10% of the bystanders. The runners will eat fruit or water or drink electrolyte replacers we did a event like this and the bystander will bring things with them.</h5>

<p>Hi Ron!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your input and your questions....it all helps me to think about things i may not have thought about as i trek into new territory!</p>
<p>The coffee will be free and more like a sampling for runners after the race so i assume many runners and watchers will want some. Im going to use 8 or 6 ounce cups.</p>

<p>There is an awards ceremony after the race and that is when i assume people will want coffee but it is hard to know with all of the variables.</p>
<p>I think the key is something you mentioned...how long would it take to get more coffee to the site...im going to have runners/drivers who can go and grab more and bring it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think its going to be a trial and hopefully little error kind of event this first time! Probably will work out just fine though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>thanks again Ron!</p>

<p>I am not a runner (except for the call to dinner) but I would speculate that very few of the runners are going to want to drink coffee. Water and electrolyte replacers - yes.</p>
<p>Depending on the weather, a percentage of the folks watching the race will want coffee (and tea and hot chocolate for the kids).</p>
<p>Silly question: are you selling the coffee or giving it away? More people will grab a cup of free coffee whether they want it or not.</p>

<p>Silly question: are you selling the coffee or giving it away? More people will grab a cup of free coffee whether they want it or not.</p>
<p>Another question: are the bystanders bunched up near the coffee station or are they spread out over the entire course? The distance between the bystander and the coffee station will also make a difference.</p>
<p>More questions than help, I am afraid.</p>
<p>Since you asked, I would guess on serving coffee to 10% of the bystanders (and 0% for the runners)</p>
<p>Yet another question: how fast can you get more coffee to the coffee station if you start running low and have underestimated demand?</p>
