North 100 : Whythra Bys Vyken 100 milers
This is a group event for five runners taking part in 100 mile trail runs in Cornwall. Three route options are offered: Bude to Gwithian, Coverack to Porthtowan, and Plymouth Sound to Coverack. The run is self-navigation and team-based; all five runners start together and the crew supports the team for the entire event.
Entry requires prior experience: completion of a 100 km race in under 20 hours and prior night-running experience. Participants must be 18 or older, provide an emergency contact able to collect them if needed, and be dropped off and collected at the event base. Runners must carry required kit including a quality waterproof jacket, windproof overtrousers, hydration system (minimum 1 litre), headtorch (200 lumens minimum) with spares, bivvy bag, first aid supplies and emergency money. A detailed kit list is provided by the organiser.
The team is crewed throughout and met by crew every 5 to 6 miles; ferries, if used, are bypassed by transport to the continuing coast path. The run must be completed within 36 hours. Organiser support includes water, soft drinks, snacks and simple hot food; runners supply their main nutrition. The organiser may cancel the event for a major medical incident or when an Amber or Red weather warning is issued. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
