A map will be available for sale in exchange for a donation to the WMSAR. Course records are: male 0:51:10 (2023) and female 1:00:10 (2015).
Full WFRA kit is mandatory, including waterproof top and trousers with taped seams, hat (a buff is acceptable), gloves, compass, whistle, food and drink as needed, a map, and a container to carry kit (bumbag or rucksack). GPS devices must not be used for navigation. There will be a limited number of marshals; organisers advise that runners have previous fell-running experience or mountain skills. Prizes are awarded to the first three men and first three women. Organisers ask that participants use designated car parks and avoid parking near the church or in pub car parks due to limited on-street parking.
