As things currently stand dogs will not be permitted at this event. This decision will be up for review periodically however and we hope to reverse it asap (whether this comes in time for this year's event we simply can not say). This is part of a parcel of measures to help with social distancing and includes other changes such as restrictions on earphone use. These changes are in place to ensure participants are, 1) fully in control of themselves (to keep their distance from others) and, 2) fully able to communicate with others (specifically other path users). As keen dog lovers ourselves we understand that this will come as a disappointment to many of you. Rest assured we will reverse this decision as soon as we can. Any questions please drop us a line.

It is looking positive that we will be able to deliver NYM 2020 on the 3rd of October and this is our clear intention.

Please remember that the event can never be 100% guaranteed, for example, if there were to be a local lockdown in Yorkshire then the event could and would not take place. We are all hoping this will not be the case. As we are still eight weeks away from the event time is on our side and indeed we are keeping close watch over a number of other small events which are planned to proceed in the UK over the coming weeks.

Further details will be emailed out to registered participants in early September. If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime you can email or call us directly.

We hope you are keeping fit and well at this time.

Don't forget to click "attending" on the official Facebook Event.

Participant Manual

Virtual : Don't forget to connect with us via the official Facebook Event where you can select "Going" or "Interested". Here you can network with others and join in the conversation by asking questions and advice.

In Person : Social distancing measures permitting, there will be an informal post event gathering on event-day evening. The details of this are tbc but participants, supporters and friends will all be welcome.

Never be locked in

1. Cancellation: You will always be given a full refund (no fees or charges) if the event has to be cancelled due to Covid-19. Your entry will never be ‘rolled over’ to a subsequent year unless you want it.
2. Postponement: You will always be given the following three options should an event have to be postponed (date changed) due to Covid-19. You will have one week from the date the event is postponed to make your choice:
   1. Accepting the new event date + receiving a £10 goodwill voucher (this is the default option if you make no choice).
   2. Transferring to one of our other event locations for any date in the future + receiving a £10 goodwill voucher.
   3. A refund (less a booking & card processing fee which will never be more than £10).
3. If your plans change or you change your mind:
   1. You can receive a full refund (no fees or charges) should you change your mind within 30 days of booking. No questions asked. To do so; log onto your account > Orders > Select the desired order number > Cancel > Confirm. It’s as simple as that.
   2. You can chop and change between our whole events portfolio at any time. Just make sure you do this more than 30 days before the event you are booked on to. To do so; log onto your account > Orders > Select the desired order number > Change > Select the desired (new) event.

Never be within 2 meters of anyone else

1. No event staff will come within 2 meters of any participants:
   1. RFID electronic timing removes the need for close personal contact.
   2. Checkpoints (aid stations) operate on a self-serve basis; all items will be individually bagged / bottled with gloved staff keeping their distance but there if you need them.
2. Receive your participant number and electronic timing chip in the post ahead of time or collect on the day, your choice.
3. Watch the event Welcome and Safety Video online 24hrs before the event from your phone or laptop.
4. Join in with our mass start or choose a time-trial start for yourself or your group. Either way you can enjoy watching the online leaderboard update throughout the event day to see how you fare against the competition.

Although there are a raft of other changes we have put in place we hope the examples above clearly demonstrate our priorities to you. All changes will be in place across our portfolio of events for the foreseeable future, most likely until the end of 2021.

We hope that you can now relax and take part with confidence; we are looking forward to delivering your next tough challenge!

With best wishes,

James and the Endurancelife Team.

Never, never, never give up.
