Practical details include on-site registration with race packs collected at event registration, a secure transition area with bike number and helmet requirements, live chip timing, stocked feed stations on bike and run routes, and a strict 16 hour cut-off for the full distance. Finishers receive a medal and event hoody or a T shirt for swim only entries. Camping is available on site for £15 per person per night and parking at the park requires payment on arrival.
