Water will be supplied at each checkpoint and at the race camps. Competitors are required to fill their personal water bottles or bladders from water dispensers provided. Each competitor must manage his/her water needs according to water distribution. Never leave a checkpoint without water - in the event of getting lost; water reserves could be vital.

FOOD

The format is “self sufficiency” – competitors are required to carry their food supplies in their race backpacks. During the stages competitors are required to carry enough food to sustain them for the whole stage.

CHECKPOINTS

CP’s will be located roughly every 6 - 7 miles. Bottled water will also be distributed at these points.

MAPS

Competitors are required to bring WATERPROOF versions of Ordnance Survey maps:

• OS Explorer Map OL 108 (Lower Tamar Valley & Plymouth)
• OS Explorer Map OL 28 (Dartmoor)
• OS Explorer Map OL 110 (Torquay & Dawlish)
• OS Explorer Map OL20 South Devon

Competitors will not be able to start without these maps, and if they are not WATERPROOF. We also recommend a permanent pen for marking the course.

MOBILE PHONES

The carrying and use of mobile phones during the event is compulsory. Charging facilities will be limited so economic usage of phones is recommended. The Race Organisers will not be held responsible for lack of battery power. For safety reasons, a switched on, fully charged Mobile Phone is an essential part of your kit - IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!
