Question 1

Can I run with my dog?

Accepted Answer

No, unfortunately we can not allow you to run with your dog, this is due to insurance, permission and  risk factors.

Question 2

Can I have a support crew or someone come with me or meet me with supplies?

Accepted Answer

No outside support allowed - You may purchase items from shops such as food and drink and batteries and so on but you can not be met by anyone who brings you for example spare clothing or shoes or delivers food. This is an unfair advantage and you must be self reliant. If you need someone to bring something like medicines you have lost etc then please message us to gain permission.

Question 3

What happens If I drop out?

Accepted Answer

If you drop out we will come pick you up when we can but you are responsible for onwards travel home once we return your drop bag. We will take you to the nearest station or look after you until a station opens in the morning but we have no obligation to transport you to a hotel or to the finish area. We advise you to be self sufficient and have the means on your person to purchase a train ticket or otherwise get yourself to the finish or where your drop bag is.

Question 4

How Strict are the Cut-Offs? Can I continue on after cut-offs using  the trackers?

Accepted Answer

Cut-offs will be enforced fully, if you are timed out then you are out and can not continue as part of the race and if you insist you will carry on the tracker and race number will be removed from you and you will be made to sign the race number to agree that you understand the race has no more responsibility for your safety.

Question 5

Can someone run on the trails with me?

Accepted Answer

No person who is not in the race can run on the course with you, supporters can wave at you as you pass but not run with you or carry anything for you along the course, this is an unfair advantage. This includes for safety or support concerns. If you have safety concerns we suggest buddying up with other runners in areas where you feel unsafe.

Question 6

How will you keep me safe on the trails at night?

Accepted Answer

You have a tracker and phone and we can monitor you remotely but ultimately you are responsible for your safety and if you are concerned about running in the dark or at night on your own we would recommend running with a friend or another runner entered in the race at night. We do not allow buddy runners on the course.

Question 7

What food and drinks are available at Checkpoints?

Accepted Answer

As a minimum we will provide, Water (tap water not bottled), coke, squash, sweets, biscuits, savoury snacks, flapjack, cereal bars, chocolate, fresh fruit, vegan, veggie and GF alternatives.

Question 8

What food and drink is available at the finish?

Accepted Answer

At the finish we will have FREE tea and coffee plus the same foods as the checkpoints - We always use up the remaining leftover food from checkpoints at the end to reduce waste post event.
