The race is licensed by the FRA under UKA rules. FRA mandatory minimum kit is compulsory

You must carry:

• waterproof whole body cover with hood and taped seams
• hat or a buff and gloves
• map of the route, suitable for navigating with
• a proper compass (not out of a Christmas cracker!)
• whistle
• emergency food

If you want water during the race, carry a cup or water bottle with you. Two marshals on the route (at CP4 and before CP8) should have water containers. But they won’t have plastic cups.
Bring your kit to registration because it will be checked there.

The race route goes across the Castle Carr estate to checkpoint 1, then does a complete anticlockwise circuit around the estate and moors. Once the circuit is done (to checkpoint 8), you will head back across the estate to the finish.

The route will be flagged through the private Castle Carr estate, but apart from that will only be flagged at a few key points.

Please do not go through the out-of-bounds area shown on the recce map before race day. Instead this is a map of the recommended route to use to recce: The recce route is roughly 14 miles with 3000′ climb.

On race day this is the actual race route:
