The longest option covers the full Dales Dazzler route across the Pennine Way and the Dales Way, and it is the only distance with the full set of five checkpoints. It is also the only route that is not taped for the race, the only one with a drop bag at Malham Tarn, and the only one requiring a head torch. Entrants are supplied with a live tracker.

Other questions
Every checkpoint has water, coke, energy bars and crisps, as well as vegan and gluten free snacks. Checkpoints have opening and closing times and you will be retired from the race if you arrive after one has closed.
Every finisher receives a medal and an event T-shirt unless they opt out of the shirt. Hot food is served at the finish, including cheese toasties and 10 bean chilli, with the chilli suitable for vegan and gluten free diets, plus hot drinks.
Yes. All ultramarathon entrants are supplied with a tracker and trail race entrants can hire one for £15 when entering. Live positions appear on the Dales Dazzler 2027 tracker screen, which can be shared, and the podium icon shows checkpoint ETAs and projected finish times based on current speed.
Yes, support crews are welcome, but they must avoid the official checkpoints. Anyone breaking that rule will result in their runner being disqualified. There are plenty of other places on the route to meet your runner.
Drop bags are for the 50 mile course only. You may leave a non-returnable drop bag at registration, clearly labelled with your name and no larger than a carrier bag, and it will be transferred to CP3 at Malham Tarn.
