About the race
MTC JOGLE is a 17 day multi-day ultra running event that follows the classic John O’Groats to Land’s End road route. The published route totals approximately 852 miles with daily stages that average about 50 miles per day. The event is almost entirely on road and includes significant cumulative ascent and descent.
Entrant numbers are capped at 12. The organiser provides accommodation from the end of Day 1 through to the end of Day 16 on a shared room basis; competitors must arrange their own accommodation at John O’Groats and after the finish at Land’s End. Maps and GPX files are supplied to entrants only, emailed about four weeks before the event. Real time tracking is provided for competitors during the race.
There are preset cut-off requirements based on a minimum average of 4 mph; competitors who fall below this pace and then do so again on a consecutive day will be withdrawn. No runner will be permitted to continue on course after 22:00.
Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, provided route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone and a basic first aid kit. The event operates a flexible checkpoint strategy, usually offering checkpoints at roughly 8 mile intervals and operates as a cup free race so entrants must provide their own reusable cup.
Entry options include a full paid entry with instalment payments and a charity entry requiring a deposit and a minimum fundraising commitment. The published course record is 146 hours 44 minutes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
