Course, kit and logistics
- 0.2–1.2 miles between stations
- around 16 miles total course distance
The course is not waymarked and requires navigation. Organisers supply a GPX file, a sheet with what3words locations for each station, and a Geo Tracks GPS tracker. The tracker uploads position every 10 seconds, is accurate to about 5 metres and has a battery life of about 70 hours. There are no checkpoints; shops are available along the route for food and drink. Road crossings are not marshalled and must be crossed with care. The event has a four hour cut off time.
Organisers list required kit items and may perform random kit checks. Items include a fully charged mobile phone, a power bank, at least one litre of water, a waterproof jacket and a long-sleeved base layer or fleece. Entry fees listed are Single £22 (includes tracker) and Team of two £32 (includes tracker). Space for baggage at the venue is limited and left at participants’ own risk.
