Route, support and logistics
The course follows the Vale Coast Path through the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and passes golden beaches, cliffs, Ogmore Castle and a set of stepping stones. There are four manned checkpoints along the route stocked with snacks, fresh fruit, hot and cold drinks, seating, power banks and music. The event lists a set of compulsory kit items: appropriate footwear, a 1-litre water carrier, mobile phone, compass (phone version allowed), a headlamp or other light for tunnels or night, a foil blanket, waterproof jacket and a rucksack. Organisers offer an optional coach transfer from the finish in Penarth to the start in Porthcawl; riders must reserve a place in advance. Registered participants receive a welcome email, further emails six, four and two weeks before the event, and a preparatory phone call a few days before. Volunteers are accepted by prior arrangement.
