The race is insured by the WFRA and therefore competitors are subject to the WFRA safety requirements for fell races and rules for competition. The weather can be a challenge and also differ from the start to the top. Competitors should arrive at races prepared to wear/carry all of the following equipment:

• • Adequate whole body cover, (e.g. windproof or waterproof top and legging to give protection against the effects of wind chill, hat and gloves) to protect you against hypothermia or heat exhaustion/ dehydration in the severest conditions likely on the day. The Race Organiser (RO) will specify minimum clothing requirements for their event, but you are responsible for carrying any additional clothing as necessary for your own protection. You should always bring additional protective equipment to the race registration in order to be able to comply with more stringent requirements that may be demanded by the RO on the day due to adverse conditions. The greatest need for clothing is not for running but when you are forced to stop or slow, and wait what can be a very long time for rescue. A kit decision will be made on the day and necessary or advised kit posted. If you haven’t got appropriate kit you cannot race. No argument. Anyone finishing without the required kit, will be disqualified and reported to the WFRA for sanctioning.

  • Map of the race route and compass, both suitable for navigating the course.

  • Whistle.

  • Emergency food and/ or fluids as needed for the conditions.

  • Any additional items specific to your needs.

There will be no First Aid personnel in attendance, though there will be a First Aid kit available at the finish.

Race Route

The race starts on the road just outside the village hall. You go up the road for 500m then left through a gate and onto a new good path. A rising traverse takes you to the base of the Pen Tir ridge (where there will be a marshal CP1) - take a turn up and right to climb steeply onto the ridge

Follow the brow of the ridge on a path all the way up. There is a slight descent to the cairn (CP2) where you turn around and head back the way you came. The optimum route back from CP2, is a reverse of the outrun. However, any other route that doesn't cross fences is allowed. Be aware, masses of needle sharp brambles and briar patches are either side of the path.

Once the finish line is crossed and your time taken, our responsibility for yourselves ends ! Results will be posted on this website
