Footwear & Clothing: All runners must wear suitable footwear (running trainers or trail run shoes are fine). Shoes with spikes are not permitted. Runners should be aware of weather conditions on the day of the event, and wear suitable running clothing. A change of dry clothes is also recommended.

Course Map, Navigation and Marshals: There will be a large course map at the registration area before the run starts. There are plenty of arrows placed on the course, as well as distance markers at every 2km. Marshals will be stationed at every ditch and obstacle.

Water Stops: There will be two water stops throughout the course, at ditch 7 and between ditches 10 and 11.

Washing Off: There will be outdoor showers available at the end of the run to wash off the worst of the mud! Please bring your own towels and face wipes.
