The run is framed as an introduction to ultra distance running for first timers; participants are advised to have completed at least 22 miles in training and to be able to sustain an average pace of 10 minutes per mile or 6 minutes per kilometre on trail for prolonged periods.

A full kit list will be provided. There is a free car park at the start and finish and the location is a short run or taxi ride from a nearby train station. The entry fee is £45 per person. Participants may receive an alcohol free beer at the end of the run, subject to availability. Additional event information and detailed instructions are sent to participants a few days before the run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
