About the race
The MTC JOGLE is a multi day ultra running event that follows the classic John O’Groats to Land's End route, predominantly on road, staged over 17 days and covering over 850 miles in total. The organiser limits the field to 12 competitors and provides accommodation from the end of Day 1 through to the end of Day 16 on a shared room basis. Competitors are responsible for booking accommodation at the start and after the finish.
The event includes organised checkpoint support, with checkpoints typically offered at around eight mile intervals and a selection of checkpoint food items. Entrants receive hi‑viz race clothing, a tracking device with an SOS button, and mapping and GPX files which are issued to competitors before the race. Mount to Coast supplies a pair of road running shoes to each fully paid entrant and offers a second pair at the start if the competitor elects to run the entire event using only those shoes.
The race enforces a minimum average speed requirement of 4 mph with preset cut off points; runners who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn. No competitor is permitted to continue on course after 22:00. Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch and spare batteries, maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone and basic first aid and emergency food items.
Total recorded ascent is 16,604 m and total descent 16,589 m. All finishers receive a medal, a finisher technical t shirt, a trophy and a bottle of champagne. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
