A series of trail races suitable for trail, fell, road runners and joggers who enjoy getting off the beaten track, with a navigation element to add the Challenge part of the series.
There are three courses: a 10km a 5km and a 2km trail.
Using basic navigation, you must choose your route and visit each check point in turn. You use an electronic ‘dibber’ to record that you have visited each check point. For those who do not own a ‘dibber’ one will be issued at the start.
