Route, pace and kit
The route goes through woodland, heathland and open fields and is designed to accumulate over 1000 m of ascent in a relatively short distance. It does not include structured hill repetitions. Some climbs are described as technical and may require scrambling. The event is run as a group rather than a race, with a steady group pace and pauses at the top of climbs where needed. Participants are asked to be able to sustain an average trail pace of about 10 min/mile | 6 min/km for prolonged periods and to have a suitable level of fitness. A full kit list will be provided before the run. A qualified guide with trail and mountain experience will lead the group. An alcohol-free beer may be available at the finish, subject to availability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
