EVENT FORMAT

(More details on the specific bike & run challenges will be given on the day)

As regards the overall event challenge, the rule will be as normal in that to qualify as a finisher you will have to visit a minimum of one biking control and one running control.

Please note that on this event some of the control points will have limited opening times thus overall event strategy and planning will be essential. More details on this will be provided in the information pack handed out at registration.

In respect of equipment, you will not need any more than the usual biking and running kit for this type of event; for full kit details see our original event flyer/info sheet on our Adventure Race website page.

Final event details will be given out registration on the morning of the event - registration opens at 7.30am, first start is 9.00am and last at 10.00am.

If you are taking part in the 3.5 hour event, you can start at anytime between 8.30am - 9.30am. The shortened version of the event comprises mountain biking & running only and doesn't include the separate run & bike challenges.

Please note that you MUST be self sufficient for the duration of the event, this means carrying ALL your kit throughout the event i.e. from start to finish UNLESS an event marshal gives you specific permission otherwise. The rules for this event will be as follows:

1. Shoes - on this event we will provide a shoe transfer to/from the remote transition point.
2. Transition point - there will be a specific taped off transition point on the event where you can safely leave your bike whilst out running. The ONLY items you can leave in transition when you are out running are your bike, your bike helmet, bike shoes plus any tools or a pump which are attached by a standard fitting to the bike.
3. Transition point (2) - the transition point is effectively a transfer area between disciplines so it is still part of the event - you must therefore remain in the transition area whilst you swap disciplines.
4. There will be a 75 point penalty for any infringement of these rules.

For any last minute queries etc drop us a note.
