Route information
Terrain Mountain paths
Elevation 510m per loop
Set on the iconic Clwydian Hill of Moel Famau, this 12 or 24 hour race involves a beautiful 7.51km loop, which will test you with 510m of ascent each time. Competitors must complete as many laps of this as possible within the time limit. Enjoy racing if you wish or you can also enjoy a no pressure environment where you can do your own thing, at your own speed!
Based on the slopes of the mountain at Plas Dolben Farm - competitors will set themselves up in the camp field where tents will be pitched, vans parked and support crews at the ready whenever you need them. At the end of each lap - a peel off from the dibbing area will enable you to access this area, with feed stations, toilets, showers, shelter from the elements if needed and your spare kit.
Participants don't have to continually be on the move for 12 or 24 hours - have as many rests as you like for as long as you like - just ensure that you enter and exit the route through the correct areas to record your laps and times correctly!

Logistics
Solo Runners - Solo runners start with the main race at 12.00pm, you then carry on running as many laps as you can for 12 or 24 hours. You can have support crews (we strongly recommend this due to the nature of the event) in your camping area but not on the route. You can stop for rests and food whenever you wish. Solo runners should always leave the course at the solo exit/entry point or risk the timing system missing a lap.
Pairs & Teams - Teams start with the main race at 12.00pm, you then carry on running as many laps as you can for 12 or 24 hours. Each member of the team must complete at least one lap. You cannot use runners not registered in your team. Always exit the course at the exchange point or you risk the timing system missing you. Always enter the course at the exchange point or you risk disqualification. You do not have to have someone on the course at all times, teams can take a break and resume later in the race. People love the excitement of the mass start, but you can also opt to start later than 12.00pm if your team would like to have a quieter start.
