Event details and facilities
The organiser describes the event as 100% self-sufficient: participants should carry water and any other provisions. Phones and headtorches are compulsory; high-visibility and waterproof clothing are recommended. Race numbers are collected on-site before the run and must be handed in at the bar after finishing to receive a pint, a glass of wine, a hot drink or a soft drink. Parking is available opposite the pub (limited) and a free public car-park in Mill Green is about a 10-minute downhill walk away; the pub also offers bike racking. A tail runner will be present to assist with navigation. Event updates are posted via the organiser’s event channels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
