Overnight Camping & Heated shared cabins...

For the first time we are offering you the option to stay the night before the event.. You can either camp, have an entire bunk house for 5 people or share one of the bunk houses. The heated cabins/bunk houses are very basic, with a simple single bed/bunk bed so you will need to provide your own sleeping bag/duvet/pillow ect. There are simply a dry place to sleep the day before the event as an alternative to camping or expensive local accomdation.

If you select the option to share a cabin these will be mixed and with different people, a great way to meet new people who no doubt share some of the same interests! If you have a group of people you want to stay with, please let me know in advance or select the entire bunk house option when booking.

If you decide to stay over, here is some Information you need to know...
1 FREE Beer/Cider/Soft drink for everyone who stays over!

Awesome event.. Fantastic route, well marked and an excellent challenge. Easy registration, great atmosphere and perfect weather too. Will potentially be back next year.

Excellent race, well organised with marshalls and marked route. Hard, hilly course with lots of interesting sections, my only regret was that I wasn't a bit fitter to do it justice.

This event was excellent from start (the night before) to finish. Alex’s comms before were really good. I stayed overnight in a shared bunk house, basic but totally suitable. The trail half was tough but stunning. Being able to shower after (because I'd stayed overnight) was a really treat. All event crew and fellow runners were super friendly. The food provision. (before/during/after) was great. Alex nailed this event. I’d happily do it again. I'd happily do any Prosper Event - they did more, went further and aimed higher than other event organisers.

Great race - very well organised, clear signage, regular Marshall points, and well stocked feed stations. Friendly atmosphere at race hq. We used the overnight bunk house accommodation basic as expected but comfortable. Def going to look at future events organised by Prosper.
