The 50-mile entry fee is £82.00, and the 50-kilometre fee is £67.00. A £2 discount is available for affiliated athletes. The minimum age to enter is 20. Participants must carry their own navigation equipment. Entry fees include the cost of GPS tracking for timing and runner location.
The event is organised by the Town and Country Harriers running club. Proceeds are donated to the Mendip Hills Fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
