MTC LEJOG 2030 - Overview
The Mount to Coast LEJOG 2030 is a fully supported multi-day running challenge organised by Ultra Running Ltd. Competitors follow an established route from Land's End to John O'Groats over 17 consecutive days, covering approximately 854 miles with an average daily distance of about 50 miles. The event dates are 3–19 October 2030.
Competitors receive hotel accommodation for 16 nights and daily catering, with checkpoint refreshments and evening meals included; drinks, starters and desserts are payable by each competitor. Live GPS tracking with an SOS function is provided and must be carried throughout each stage. Mount to Coast supplies a complimentary pair of running shoes to each competitor prior to the event. Finishers receive bespoke medals and trophies, including a LEGG medal for reaching Scotland.
The route is not fully waymarked. Detailed GPX files and mapping are issued to competitors four weeks before the event and each runner is responsible for navigation and suitable backup equipment. A minimum average pace of 4 mph applies and daily cut-off times are enforced; competitors who do not meet the required standard may be withdrawn. Mandatory kit and safety requirements are specified by the organiser.
Places are limited to 12 competitors. Entry fees are non-refundable; standard entry details include a deposit and instalment schedule. Luggage transport is provided with a recommended two- or three-bag system and a 20 kg limit per bag. The event operates as cup-free so competitors must carry reusable drinking equipment.
