Guidelines for Challengers

Safety:

Please be aware that you take part in the event at your own risk and agree to abide by the rules of the event. You need to be fit enough to take part and have no medical conditions that could endanger yourselves or others. The route will be entirely on public rights of way but covers a variety of terrain that could be rough, muddy or slippery with stiles and gates etc. As with any country walk, you may come across livestock in the fields. Please walk calmly past. If you come across anything that appears to be hazardous, please let the organisers know (call or text 07766 775380) Conditions can change quite suddenly so please check the forecast for the day you have chosen and take warm and waterproof clothes, sunblock and a hat as required.

As with any walk or run, there is a risk of personal injury. There will be mobile medical support available but it is also advisable to inform one of your family or friends when you start and anticipate completing the route and when you have finished. Please also have your emergency contact (ICE) details with you. Please ensure you take a mobile phone so you can seek assistance if required.

Take particular care of your own safety at road crossings. Please follow the instructions of marshalls where present and be aware that they are not allowed to stop traffic.
