Out on the Route

You should familiarise yourself with the route and where uncertain, contact the events team to clarify any issues before entering. You can download and print the map of the route.  Runners must follow the marked course at all times. Runners may not store supplies of any kind along the trail.

Littering

Littering of any kind will result in immediate disqualification. Runners caught littering will be banned from all future events. Please respect the natural beauty of our environment and the right of everyone to enjoy them. Littering will threaten our use in the future of the race

Other users on the route

If the any part of the route is on public highways, most likely other users have the right of way. Please be aware of vehicles and other people whilst you are running and be as polite and courteous as possible to them, making way when necessary. You do not have priority over any other users out on the course and most will be totally unaware of the event taking place

Completing the Race – Disclaimer

Each runner must complete the entire course under his or her own power.  Runners compete in this event entirely at their own risk including but not limited to road crossings, river crossings, level crossings and all other hazards of the trail. There will be a full waiver to sign at registration. Runners refusing to sign the waiver will not be permitted to start

Runners are responsible for the actions of their supporters/spectators and the runner will be held accountable

Unable to complete the Race

Any runner who is unable to finish the race must personally inform the nearest Marshal or Checkpoint of his/her decision to withdraw and hand over the race Bib and Chip. This serves as official notice of a runner’s withdrawal from the race. Runners who leave the course without turning in their number will be classified as “lost,” initiating search and rescue, for which the runner will be responsible of any cost incurred unnecessarily

Marshals and Road Crossings

You should always follow the instructions given to you from Event Marshals.  All road junctions will be marshaled or suitable signed, but marshals are not there to help you cross the junction and are by law not allowed to interfere with road traffic.  You cross all roads (this includes Junctions even though you are on the main road/pavement) at your own risk, so please look left, look right and again before crossing the road/junction
