Exterminator Fell Race
The Exterminator is the fifth and final race in the Totley AC series. The course is approximately 27 km / 17 miles with a total ascent of 1066 m / 3505 ft and is held under FRA rules as a category B Long race.
The route covers varied terrain including road, track and footpath through woodland, fields, open moorland, villages and hamlets. The route is not fully waymarked, includes several route choices and is only partially marshalled. Competitors must follow the prescribed route where areas are marked out of bounds and must stick to indicated footpaths through the Longshaw estate and avoid the horse field in Totley.
Navigation and self-sufficiency are emphasised. FRA Best Practice kit is mandatory and will be checked before number collection; required items include a waterproof whole body cover with attached hood, hat, gloves, map, compass, whistle and emergency food. Use of GPX for navigation is prohibited. Checkpoints must be visited in order and the final two checkpoints require punching or clipping of race numbers; failure to comply may lead to disqualification.
