Other questions
The maximum entry is 250. Once that number is reached, new entries go onto a waiting list.
Yes. The route is linear, so runners must be self-sufficient and have their own transport arrangements to get to the start and away from the finish.
There are checkpoints on the route and each runner must visit every checkpoint in order.
The event is dependent on the Snake Pass being open for traffic to access Snake Summit on the day, so keep an eye on organiser updates if conditions are poor.
