Race registration and start will take place at Plumpton Racecourse. There will be signs to direct you from the main road. The race will finish here also.
There will be parking available at the racecourse.
There will be male and female toilets available.
There will be 4 very well stocked aid stations along the route which are listed below. Aid stations will carry a wide range of food and drink. They will cater for everyone’s needs including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free.
All runners must be finished by 7.30pm giving 12 hours to finish. There are no cutoff times for this race along the route.
There will be no crews at this event. We have decided to go with this option to keep landowners and the public along the route happy. With regular aid stations along the route, having a crew is not necessary for this event. Please contact us if you have any dietary needs on the day and, we will do our best to make sure they are available for you throughout.
No pacers will be allowed to accompany runners at any time during the race.
Spectators are very welcome to come along and support their runners throughout the day. It is however very important for the future of the race that they behave in a sensible manner throughout. There are privately owned car parks along the route that can become overcrowded very quickly, and spectators must take it upon themselves to follow the rules of any certain car park. Not following these rules by parking on grass verges and in places that are not official parking spaces etc just because they are there to watch the race will not go down well and could put the future of the race in jeopardy. If a certain car park is full, then please just move on to the next one. Spectators must not attend at any of the aid station locations.
Runners will also have the option of leaving a finish line bag at registration. This is limited to one bag per runner. The bag will be stored at the finish line area safe and ready for your collection. Please ensure the bag is clearly marked with your name and bib number.
The course is predominantly on easy going trails with small road sections as well. At the time of year, the race takes place, the ground should be dry and hard, we therefore suggest that both road running and trail shoes are suitable. Runners must carry the following equipment with them at all-times and will be disqualified for failing kit checks. Inspections will take place before, during, and after the race.
It is not mandatory, but we do suggest you bring a foldable cup as the race will be cup less
We will mark the route thoroughly with UK Ultra arrows and UK Ultra ribbons. A map and compass are not necessary at all although, never a bad idea.
Even though the course will be thoroughly marked, it is the runner’s responsibility to navigate it successfully. We do however suggest you try and recce the route as much as possible and, also download the GPX file onto your GPS watch/handheld device or mobile phone.
There will be an experienced team of race medics available to runners before, during and after the event including first aid teams, response cars and ambulances. There is the possibility due to some locations on the course that the medical team might take some time to reach you. In this situation you should call 999.
