MTC Black Anise
The MTC Black Anise is a 38-mile ultra marathon. It forms part of the Mount to Coast End to End Challenge series and also serves as day three of the MTC Albion, a thirteen-day end-to-end challenge of England covering 503 miles.
The race follows the same route as the organizer's MTC JOGLE event but with a reduced daily distance. It starts at the Premier Inn Lancaster hotel and finishes at the Premier Inn Wigan North. The course passes through checkpoints in Bay Horse, Preston and Barton, Preston.
Participation is limited to 40 competitors in total. A minimum average speed requirement of 4 miles per hour is enforced, and competitors falling below this pace may be withdrawn. The event is designated as cup-free, meaning participants must bring their own reusable cup.
All finishers receive a bespoke Black Anise medal. Male and female champions also receive a unique race trophy. An optional race package upgrade includes an embroidered race shirt and a lightweight hi-viz jacket.
A mandatory kit list includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, route maps, a compass or GPS device, a whistle, a mobile phone, and a basic first aid kit. Competitors are provided with a tracking device for safety monitoring during the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
