Map and Course

Distance - 8 Miles (13km)

Ascent circa 3500 ft (1100m)

A map is displayed on the website and shows a proposed route. There may be some changes once we have fully recced the area. Any updates will be notified including checkpoints.

Route Description

The course is circa 8 miles and 3500 feet ascent. It traverses Helvellyn and the ridge toward Whiteside, Raise and Stybarrow Dodd summits. Fairly easy to navigate in good weather but in poor conditions be prepared to navigate! It is a very scenic course but has circa 3500 feet ascent so it is a fairly tough, demanding, eight-mile course.

Maps, Check-Points and Waymarks

A printed map will be provided. The course is considered as a fairly tough, rugged fell terrain. It will be fully way-marked with flags. This is to ensure everyone runs the same course and does not get lost. This said, all competitors must still carry the map provided and be prepared to navigate themselves should flags go missing or in bad weather.

Portable Sat Nav Devices

Sat Nav devices /mobile phones are permitted and may be used as a back-up to your given map but not relied upon to navigate.. Hard copy map provided should be carried throughout the race.

Novice Runners Challenge

We would like to encourage novice runners to take part in these events. Though the event is traditionally a 'race' it can also be titled as a 'Challenge' and can be run/walked at a progressive pace.

The cut-off time is a generous 4 hours or 5.30pm. This would make it attractive to athletes wishing to complete the course at a steady, but progressive and continuous run/walking pace.

Note: The Prize presentation will take place around 4.00pm so likely that walkers will miss the presentation but refreshments and finishing mementos will be still available when you finish.

Competing in Pairs or a Group

There is no objection to competitors completing the course together as a pair or even a group. Each member would enter individually and receive a race number and carry the same kit.

Compulsory Kit Requirement

Competitors will need to carry all of the following equipment:-

1. Waterproof top and bottom body cover

2. Copy Map (Provided)

3. Compass and Whistle

4. Hat and Gloves

5. Suitable footwear for fell running

6. Emergency Food

This is the kit list, irrespective of good weather.

Each competitor should have navigational skills and be able to use a map and compass if required.

Kit Checks

Compulsory kit checks will be carried out at registration so please ensure you carry the required kit as outlined above. Any required kit found missing at the end of the race will incur a 30-minute time penalty or possibly disqualification. Random kit checks will also be made at the finish.

Entry Field

Entry limit is now 120. Pre-entry is required, though late, EOD or substitution of an entered runner, is still an option for forces who have already entered a team before the closing date. Please note that entries received after the 120 limit or on day will be accepted but those runners may not receive a pre-ordered race memento.

Registration and Pre-Race Briefing

Registration from 11am outside the Kings Head Inn - Pre-Race briefing at 1.15pm. The start is from the side of the Inn.

Post Race Meal and Presentation of Trophies

Soup and a roll will be provided at the Kings Head Inn from 3.00pm at the finish. This will be followed by a formal presentation of trophies and prizes at approximately at 4pm. You may opt out of the post-race food option when you enter.

All should also be paying members of their respective police sports clubs and therefore be affiliated to Police Sport UK as such.

Family Entry

We now permit Spouse/Partner and Siblings (over 18) of an above defined 'police member' to participate. They compete in the same race but only as a 'Guest Familiy Member' but will not qualify for individual or team prizes.

They may be defined by a Police Sports Club as an 'Honorary Member' so could be entitled to claim their entry from the Club also.

Pre-Race Recognizance

There are no objections to teams or individuals reconnoitering the course.

Closing Date

The standard entry closing date is 1 May 2025 - From this date, late entry, EOD and substitutions are acceptable on request to forces who have already pre-entered some runners. However, entrants may not receive a Race Mememnto. Please email me to discuss. Sorry, there are no entry fee refunds but named substitutions to pre-paid entries will be allowed.

Entry Confirmation

All competitors will receive a confirmation of their entry from BookitZone and ongoing briefing information will be by email and on the event webpage right through to the event.
