About the Event

There are four levels of difficulty, to cater for all participants. You will need a basic level of fitness for all of the challenges, but we have tried to provide a distance for everyone. The 75km Silver, 100km Gold Ultra, and 100 miles in 24 hours Ultra routes begin at 9pm, so require walking or running in darkness, and should not be entered lightly. You have the choice of self navigating: In this case a minimum level of navigational skill is required; you’ll walk or run unaccompanied, carrying a GPS tracker (included in your team’s entry fee) and met only at checkpoints. For those without navigational experience, we offer the option of joining a led walking group on the Copper, Bronze, or overnight leg of the Silver challenge (before completing the daytime leg of the Silver challenge in daylight).
