START GROUPS:
Due to the amount of seats on the transport there are two start groups for day 1.

Group 1 is for walkers and joggers ONLY.

Group 2 is for runners and faster runners. NO walkers in group 2.

Your start group for day 1 will be determined by the event organiser and published in the 'participants information pack' pre the event date.

The briefing, bus and start times for each group on each day of the challenge can be found in the Participant Instructions download.

CHECKPOINTS (CPS):
These are located approximately every 10KM. At each CP you will be ‘checked’ in by the CP staff and your time logged. This means we know where you are on the course and if you are late for a checkpoint we can assist you.

All the CPs will be stocked with energy bars, jelly babies, salty snacks, filled rolls, water, squash, coke, and hot drinks (at CP 2 and 3). At the finish point each day a bowl of hot homemade soup and bread roll will await you. CP close times will be issued to you along with your actions on the emergency card. The event medics will be available at the CP.

TRANSPORTATION:
Each day you will be instructed to meet at the event HQ and then be transported to the start. Once you join Epic Endurance on the event you can leave your car at the event HQ and take advantage of the Epic Endurance minibuses. On completion of the days run you will be transported back to the event HQ.

• The course is covered by the medical support team. Every morning at challenge registration the medics will be available to sort out any blisters, tape feet up etc
