| Other Details | This event is only open to ultra runners with previous experience. You must be 100% aware that you are running at night along coastal paths. You have to navigate your self between check points. In places the path is not obvious and basic navigation skills are essential. Be under no illusion that if you do not make the check point cut off times your race number will be removed and you will no longer be part of the event. Harsh but fair! |
