There is a midway checkpoint with access to drop bags and a hostel-style finish with beds, showers and a hot meal for finishers. Race registration and kit checks take place on the evening before the race at Hebden Hey Scout Centre. Meals at indoor checkpoints offer a meat or fish option and a vegetarian option; specific dietary requirements and allergen exposures are noted as not guaranteed. Finishers receive medals and trophies are awarded for fastest categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
