Format, logistics and rules
Competitor numbers are limited to 12. Organisers provide accommodation at the end of Day 1 through Day 16; entrants must arrange accommodation at John O’Groats and after the finish. Entrants receive hi-viz clothing and a pair of road shoes about two months before the race; a second pair may be supplied at the start if a competitor elects to run the whole event using only the provided shoes. Maps and GPX files, and real-time tracking with SOS capability, are issued to entrants only.
There is a strict minimum average speed requirement of 4.0 mph; competitors who fall below this are warned and may be withdrawn if the shortfall continues. No competitor may continue on the course after 22:00. A mandatory kit list includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone and basic first-aid items. Entry options include a full entry fee with staged payments and a charity entry with a deposit plus a fundraising commitment; all entry fees are non-refundable. Finishers receive a medal, technical t-shirt, trophy and a bottle of champagne. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
