Rubbish must be taken home.

Maps, route descriptions and GPX files are provided for download. Competitors are required to print and carry their own maps and route descriptions because courses are not generally marked.

The 10k has a reduced mandatory kit list including a printed route description, survival bag, foil blanket and means to attach the bib. Failure to carry mandatory kit will result in disqualification.

Entry fees include contributions to the Cleveland Way National Trail. Prices vary by distance and UKA attachment status and a race t shirt is optional for an additional fee. The event is cupless so runners should bring a cup for checkpoint and finish drinks. No dogs are allowed on the course. The organiser does not offer refunds or deferrals; transfers and other changes are subject to the event rules and entry deadlines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
