Weekend 9 has finally landed!

 

 

A 25km Run, TAB, YOMP, Hike Walk in the Howgill Fells.

 

 

The route is 25 km long, an out and back route in the Howgill fells and follows the original 23 Special Air Service final test route known to recruits as Weekend 9.

The route is fully way marked so there is no navigation required, there will be a GPX file available to download for the technically minded.

 

Competitors will make their way through a number of checkpoints, but don’t expect snacks or food. these check points will be manned by our staff and are there for us to check if you are ok to continue.

There are cut off times they are very generous if you have concerns about this please send us an email, (address below.)

 

 

1. Load bearing

35lb + food and water Men under 45

25lb + food and water if you are 45 years or older or are female

A kit list will be provided.

 

2. Non-load Bearing (Clean Fatigue)

There will be prizes for 1st male and 1st female load bearing and for 1st clean fatigue competitor.

 

 

You will be part of something that has never been put on for civilians before. This route was only ever used by 23 SAS and until now has never been in the public domain.
