The course requires participants to be self-sufficient and capable of using a map and compass to navigate via public rights of way. While the exact route is chosen by the participant, a suggested GPX file and map are provided beforehand. There are three aid stations along the route providing snacks and drinks. All participants have a 15-hour time limit to complete the challenge.
Mandatory equipment includes a map of the North York Moors, a working compass, a whistle, head-torches with spare batteries, an emergency bivvy bag, and waterproof clothing with taped seams. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate, a memento, and a cloth badge. A hot meal, including vegetarian and gluten-free options, is provided at the finish.
