Run Route

Run 13 miles;. You must bring into transition some form of bag containing full body cover, foil survival blanket, whistle, compass and ability to use it if necessary, and suitable map of the route – a print out of the route map from the website is not acceptable. At the race briefing we will announce whether or not taking your poor weather kit with you on the run will be compulsory. If it is made compulsory you will be checked going out of transition that you have it with you, if you don’t take it with you, you will be DISQUALIFIED. The run is a mix of road, path and fell. Footwear is your choice, I strongly recommend fell shoes, racing flats are not suitable. There will be an Aid Station which you will pass at about 5.5 miles and 9.5 miles. This will be situated where the two loops of the route come together near to the rear of the Howtown Hotel. Water and food will be available at the Aid Station. If you wish we will take a drinks bottle for you to the run Aid Station for you. Please ensure that your race number is displayed on the bottle and place in correct basket outside the registration marquee on Sunday morning.
If taking a drink at the aid station YOU MUST STOP, DRINK AND DEPOSIT YOU CUP IN THE BIN PROVIDED BEFORE CONTINUING. The slinging of plastic cups will result in your disqualification.
In the event of poor weather, particularly poor visibility, the run route may be changed. I have seen snow in June in this area. Please do not put yourself, fellow competitors and the rescue services as risk by not being suitably prepared. The last 3 ½ miles of the run are on-road.
Litter; This section should not be necessary, however it is. This race takes place in an environmentally sensitive area; it is not acceptable to drop any litter, energy bar/gel wrappers or anything else on any part of the course. It is a criminal offence and if caught doing so by any race official will result in disqualification. It is easy to tuck any wrappers etc into the leg of your shorts while you are racing and dispose of correctly when you finish.
Fell runners please note:- in triathlon the idea is that everyone does the same route. This also applies to the swim and the bike. Taking short cuts will result in disqualification and for the reasons given above may also jeopardize the future of the event.
