We want you to get around safely – some of you will want to compete to win, others just to succeed. We have a few key rules outlined here to help everyone achieve their goal, whatever it is. Shortcuts – we recognise that self-navigating is hard, over long distances, with fatigue and sleep deprivation, errors will happen. Anyone deemed to be gaining a significant competitive advantage will have a time penalty added to their result. This will be any time estimated to have been gained + a 15 minute time penalty. Race Rules and Info
Gates on Route – Please remember whenever you need to open gates on route, always shut them behind you so no sheep can escape!
Littering – will not be tolerated. We ask everyone to write their bib number on any additional food items they take, so we can identify any litter that is found on course. We are privileged to use this landscape and have a responsibility to leave it as we found it. Accepting Support – We want to do all we can to help you to get around the event and provide 12 well stocked feed stations and a Drop Bag for 13V and 7V participants to give you every chance for your race. If you have any specific requirements outside of these, we ask you to carry them with you. We do not allow support crews to actively move around the route, giving additional nutrition or kit, or taking it off you. This is to try and ensure the playing field is as level as possible, and the event is sustainable both from an environmental and social standpoint. It is important we respect the environment and communities we run in. However we do encourage everyone to support at the relevant feed stations, or where public transport allows. Please remember to respect locals and other users of the trails, especially with regard to noise at night.
