MTC Vampire
The MTC Vampire is a single day ultra covering 38 miles from Travelodge Bristol Filton to Premier Inn Bridgewater North. It forms Day 9 of the MTC Albion thirteen day end to end England series and follows the same route used by the MTC JOGLE event with reduced daily distances. The published route includes three intermediate checkpoints and a total distance of 38 miles.
Entrant numbers are limited to 20 for the standalone event with an additional allowance of 20 Albion competitors, giving a maximum of 40 runners on the day. The organisers enforce a minimum average speed of 4 mph; competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn. All entries and deposits are non refundable, though a personal cancellation insurance option is offered at checkout. The MTC Vampire Plus package includes an embroidered race shirt and lightweight hi viz jacket when purchased at least four weeks before the event.
Navigation materials and GPX files are provided to entrants only and are emailed approximately four weeks before the race. Each competitor receives a tracking device with an SOS function. The race is cup free so entrants must bring a reusable cup. Typical checkpoint food may include malt loaf, sandwiches, sweets, squash, cola and water; dietary needs are collected in advance. All finishers receive a Vampire medal and male and female champions receive bespoke trophies currently in design.
Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, provided route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid kit and emergency food. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
