Our Wyedean Relay has run now for 5 years. It sees 300+ runners taking part.
In recent years there has been a call for individuals to run the entire distance - so this year we are setting up the Wyedean 'ultra' for individuals who want to do just that.

Feed stations/checkpoints
At what would be the end of each leg of the relay (or near) there will be a feed station (checkpoint) - food/drinks etc and a timing point.
On each feed station there will be flapjack pieces, banana halves, malt loaf, jelly babies, peanuts. Energy bars will be available at CP3 Monmouth and CP5 Tintern Station. There will be water 'jacks' with taps where you can refill your own bottles at each checkpoint.
At each checkpoint there will be a timing point - simply hold your wrist tag onto the device (like a mobile phone) mounted on a stake. It will emit a loud  bleep. You pick up your wrist tag and race number at the the start of Leg 1 in Ross-on-Wye.

Most of these checkpoints are at convenient places with road access, so your own supporters/ helpers can gain access if needed.
The way is well marked with national footpath signs.

Along the way you will encounter and probably overtake the relay event that is going on at the same time. The ultra is, however, a completely separate event with separate marshals and timing. We expect a good atmosphere and support from the relay teams as you progress along the route as they will be gathering to start their leg and support friends finishing other legs. 

For rough route maps (we suggest you use your own detailed mapping) and information of each section see here. 

Transport to the start from finish (or from finish back to start) is not included but we will endeavour to organise shares amongst competitors on our facebook page nearer the time. If you need to drop out between legs please make your way as best you can to the end of that leg, where you can retire. The timing device needs to be updated with your status as 'retired', so that we know and can inform the remaining checkpoints.

Sorry - no 4 legged friends allowed on this - some of the trails go through farmland with livestock.

Got any questions? Please just go to the Facebook event and make a reply post.
