Format and rules
At registration participants surrender electronic devices and navigational aids and receive a race number and an emergency bag. Competitors are transported to an undisclosed drop-off location while blindfolded or using an alternative provided. From that point each entrant must find their own way back to the event centre without a provided map, GPS, compass, or external help. Organisers may provide maps only if they choose to do so. Breaking the seal on the emergency bag, using unauthorised maps, or taking shortcuts leads to disqualification.
Tracking and safety
Live GPS tracking is offered as an optional, paid feature and is not included in the entry fee. Trackers are described as accurate to within 5 metres but can be affected by tall buildings or signal black spots. Trackers must be returned after the event or a £175 replacement fee applies. Organisers retain access to additional safety features not available to participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
