For pairs the category is determined by the age of the older competitor. A Parent or Guardian & Under 18 category requires the junior to be at least 14 and the accompanying adult to be over 21 and the parent, guardian or an appointed accompanying adult.

All competitors must carry the FRA Mandatory Minimum Kit: waterproof jacket and trousers with taped seams and attached hood, hat, gloves, map (provided), compass, whistle, emergency food and a survival bag.
