Environmental policy: As trail runners we want to help look after the beautiful natural world we run in, so we aim to leave only our footprints behind. In fact, if possible we like to leave the trails cleaner than we found them.
Runners may not drop any object
of any kind on the trail during any
of the races. If you have room to
carry your gel, you have room to
carry the empty gel packet as well!
Anything that really does need to
be discarded can be put in a rubbish bag at the next refreshment station. Any runners found to have littered during any of the races will be disqualified.
