3. A wearable GPS enabled sports watch – There are a wide variety of watches that can help you navigate your way around a pre-loaded route, which you can download from the 13 Valleys Ultra website. There are a wide range of brands out there, and our partners Suunto offer great options. It is important that participants are familiar with their own devices, the corresponding apps, and how they can upload GPX (route) files. If the event needs to use a contingency course, we can send these out via SMS. 4. A physical, paper map – Many people prefer to plan with a physical map, and carry this on the day. This needs to be marked up with the event route, for whichever distance you are doing. The entirety of the 13 Valleys Route is marked on a dedicated OS Map, and can be purchased here. 5. A handheld GPS device – If you prefer to keep your mobile phone and navigation devices separate then this could be a good option for you. It would need to be pre-loaded with the event route.
