Competitors register at Manor Farm from 06:00, then set off at 07:30; checkpoint food is provided along the way and runners must maintain a minimum average of 4 mph.

Other questions
Yes you will receive food at the check points throughout the day, including malt loaf, sandwiches and soft drinks.
No absolutely not. Entrants are able to enter each section of the race independently from the whole run, so if you don't fancy the whole run, you're more than welcome to enter a section separately.
It is Day 3 of the Severn Challenge, but you can enter it as a standalone ultra race.
No, the majority of URL event routes are not signed. Download the GPX file and carry a map/compass or GPS to navigate, as sections can become overgrown and cover signs.
Yes, when you register you can select either Vegan or Gluten Free food; the checkpoints will have appropriate choices. If you need other food you must provide your own nutrition, bagged and labelled for each checkpoint.
