You dont need to camp, loads of accomodation on the route, and late in the season so quiet and easy to just turn up. Hotels miss the best part though which is there are loads of stunning locations to camp. Depending on how adventurous feel these can be high alpine passes and abandoned forts or quiet valley fields and woodland. I only went into a hotel the one day it rained.
Dont need a stove. Plenty of places to find food and morning coffee. Just need a sleep mat, warm sleeping bag, and tarp. Bikepacking bags silly cheap at PlanetX now. Chunky tyres recommended such as 40mm. Warm clothes for evening. Otherwise keep it simple and dont overthink it.
Its a very inclusive event. Everyone is helpful and friendly.

I am considering this but I want to do this as cheaply as possible. I have never done 'camping' as such, what would I need to borrow? I have some bikepacking bags and most likely will do on the MTB.
what would be an advice to a n00b?
