Within the forums I've seen the Unofficial Runner's Guide referenced. That might be a good start. Below is a copy/paste of the URG background. Happy planning!

==============
The brief history of the guide goes something like this;
The RTB web site has always had a forum/BB but every year it was reset. And year after year, the same basic types of questions (primarily on what to expect and how) were posted & answered but then deleted. A couple of years back I copied all the posts and started to group then into subject areas. The result is a narrative of the process of the race. I sent out drafts to folks who routinely post like the guys you see above this post and from their comments the URG was born. Subsequently, I also incorporated comments from others that have asked for & used the guide. What it does is it keeps kind of a running summary of 'best methods' that doesn't get deleted every year.
It is Unofficial as it is not sanctioned or approved by the race committee, but it does layout the race in a format that I think is a little easier to understand than the handbook. So far you have to e-mail me to get a copy (I sent out some 60 copies last year), we've talked about posting it so it's easier to get to it but I've yet to give up control :-)
I've yet to update it to take out the last minute changes to the legs from last years race but the body is 99% the same.
