If you are found not having a working head torch, this will result in you potentially being removed from the stage.

The UK weather is unpredictable in November & December, so it is vital you not only wear, but have appropriate clothing and mandatory kit in your backpack at all times. A small kit bag can be stored at the start/finish point of each stage if you wish to have a change of clothing and extra snacks waiting for you.

Harness and Tyre

Stage 2 requires you to pull a tyre for 42km. The tyre size must be 215/60/16

The most effective way of pulling a tyre is by way of harness and rope.

If you do not have a harness, rope and tyre, for a small fee, we can provide suitable equipment and tyre for the event.

Please get in touch if you need to hire a harness, rope and tyre or advice and guidance on options where to purchase any kit as we will have agreements and discounts with quality brands and stores to support any purchases.

Optional Kit

• Walking Poles – A good set of walking poles can become a valuable asset to long distance walking challenges, and more so for when you are pulling a tyre!
• Change of clothing, socks and extra gloves for each stage.
• Whilst we will provide hot meals, drinks and snacks throughout the event, if you have a personal preference towards your desired snacks, you may wish to bring your own nutrition.
