The race is held under FRA rules, please read these here. Waterproof whole body cover (with hood and taped seams), map and compass suitable for navigation, whistle and emergency food are required for runners in the full course race. Short/junior course runners must bring waterproof jacket (not just windproof) and trousers, hat, gloves and whistle.
Fell running takes place on steep, rough and boggy ground, in remote and weather-exposed locations. Full courses are not marked, so self-navigation (using a map and compass) is required.
Full Race Route - Start and finish is at the Ard Whallan Outdoor Pursuits Centre in West Baldwin. GR 356830. The full course visits the summits of Colden, Greeba and Slieau Ruy. Sections of open moorland must be navigated in places along with muddy sheep paths and exposed summits. The short/junior course is fully flagged, climbing first to the Creg, then dropping to the valley beyond. Route descriptions and maps for both races can be found here.
The start and finish sections of the course (fields between Ardwhallan centre and the mountain wall) are private land and can only be accessed on race day. This section can be bypassed by starting at Colden car park, Cronk Breck or King’s Forest/Greeba.
