There are no time limits on any particular section. Although the organisers reserve the right to take you off the course if they believe that your health could be compromised. The race will officially finish at 7pm. Any team still on the course will be immediately withdrawn from the race.
One of the cycling legs is off road. The other three legs are on road.
If you are sharing a bike amongst your team, we would suggest a hybrid bike suitable for on and off road. If you are bringing more than one bike for your team we would suggest a road/racing bike for the on road sections and a mountain/hybrid bike for the off-road section.

Your guess is as good as ours! However, you should be prepared for wind, sun and rain. Also remember that you may experience all three throughout the day.
The race is limited to 250 teams, so get in early.
As early as possible. The race will be a sell out, so make sure you apply early.
Give it another week if not too close to the event, and then contact us. If close to the event, drop us a line straight away. A cashed cheque means that you’re in so don’t panic!
Runners often say that they’ve changed address since entering or that they live in a huge block of flats and their post goes missing. Why not get your race pack sent to your workplace if that is more secure.
Like all events, entry fees are used to hire land, equipment etc. Therefore, we do not issue refunds after entry.
You should be fit enough to be able to run at least 10km on the road without stopping and to be able to cycle 20km. Some sections are harder than others, so make sure you put your fittest team member on the toughest legs.
The race starts at 6am. You should get there at 5.30am. This will leave enough time to get parked up and allows you enough time to use the loos.
There is parking available at the start / finish.
Only teams of FOUR are accepted. Teams can be single sex or mixed.
Will be sent to the Team Leader for distribution.
Can be anything – serious or funny. Please do not send in anything too obscene.
Results are recorded and posted on the site the next day. Individual prizes are awarded on the day.
Your shoes will get wet and muddy so best not wear a brand-new white pair! Shoes with a very good grip are ideal.
