Participation and requirements
Minimum age to enter is 18 years. Entries are open in advance and there is limited on-the-day entry; listed entry fees are £15.00 for FRA members and £17.00 for non-members. Teams are allowed and there are team prizes for men and women.
This is a non-GPS race for navigation. GPS devices may be used to record distance but electronic navigation aids are not permitted; using GPS to navigate to safety requires declaring non-competitive status at the finish. FRA mandatory minimum kit is compulsory and will be checked before race numbers are issued; required items include a waterproof full-body cover with taped seams and an attached hood, a hat (not a buff), gloves, map, compass, whistle, and emergency food. Parking at the venue is very limited so car sharing is advised. The organisers note that there are shoots on Saturdays and suggest that runners be aware if they plan to run the route beforehand.
