The event is run under FRA rules as a category B Long race and navigational aids such as GPX files are not provided; use of GPX for navigation is prohibited and may lead to disqualification.

Required items include waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and attached hood, hat, gloves, a physical map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. Two water stations are provided on course but no disposable cups are supplied so runners must carry a cup or bottle.
