Route, rules and entry
Competitor numbers are limited to 20 entries plus an additional 20 places for CYMRUN participants, for a maximum of 40 starters. The event enforces a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph; competitors who fall below this requirement will be withdrawn. Cut-off times are set at checkpoints based on that minimum speed. Maps and GPX files are provided to entrants and emailed about four weeks before the event. URL issues tracking devices with SOS capability for monitoring during the race.
Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and emergency food. The race is cup-free so competitors must bring a reusable cup.
