Course, points and logistics
The full loop follows the Nidderdale Way and passes locations such as Ripley Castle, Brimham Rocks, Scar House Reservoir and How Stean Gorge. Approximate total climb values are 1,700 / 2,800 / 4,700 / 7,500 feet for the 13 / 20 / 32 / 55 mile options respectively. ITRA points are 1 / 1 / 2 / 3 and UTMB qualification categories are listed as Q20K / Q20K / Q50K / Q100K. Provisional GPX files and a route description are available online and the final route will be emailed to competitors in the final race instructions. The route will not be taped because it mainly follows the well waymarked Nidderdale Way.
Safety, checkpoints and finish
All entrants receive a tracker at registration; the tracker is supplied switched on and must be worn. The tracker includes an emergency button that, if pressed while in range, ends the race for that runner. Checkpoints provide water, coke and snacks with vegan and gluten free boxes available. Arriving at a checkpoint after it closes results in retirement from the race. Finishers receive a medal and an event T-shirt unless they opt out; hot food and drinks are provided at the finish. Mandatory kit is specified and random kit checks may be carried out on course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
