Participants run as many laps as they choose within the six-hour period; a final lap may be started if a runner leaves the Base Camp before the event end. Race HQ and the lap point are at the start, where a water/aid station will be provided and the event uses a mass start. Parking is included in entry. Registration requires collection of bib numbers on the day. There is a baggage space in a hut near the start, left at the participant’s own risk. The event is cupless, so runners should bring their own bottles or cups. Road trainers are suggested; trail shoes are optional depending on conditions. Bespoke and lucky-dip finisher medal options are available and virtual places are offered. Entry fees vary between £33 and £38. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
