Route information
Entrants must plan their own escape route by going on the run from Crumlin Gaol. The possibilities are endless. To win entrants will go on the run for either 6 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours.
You must plot your route in advance using a GPX map plotter and submit it to the organisers before the race. This is an As the Crow Flies event, meaning you must plot your route in a straight line on the map. All entrants are completely welcome to have a support crew.
Participants will be provided with a GPS tracker. The tracker will track your exact location for the duration of the race. The convict who has escaped the furthest in the time allotted will be crowned champion. This is a completely unique experience as all entrants will be starting within the prison walls. Run solo or enter as a team to see how far you can run.
