£26. This challenge is designed to be as cheap and therefore as accessible as possible. The charge is set at a nominal price to cover the direct costs associated with running this challenge. This includes: VAT, us coordinating the challenge, gps tracking, a t-shirt and postage and a £5 donation to the SWCP association.

If your plans change or you simply change your mind:

Cooling off period: You can receive a full refund (no fees or charges) should you change your mind within 5 days of booking. Just pop us an email and we will action this for you within 24hrs.

Transferring your entry to a friend: You can transfer your entry (leg) to someone else at anytime so long as it is more than 48hrs away from the relay commencing. Get in touch with us via email and we will help with this.

Cancellation: You will always be given a full refund (no fees or charges) if the event has to be cancelled.

Postponement: You will always be given the following three options should an event have to be postponed (date changed). You will have one week from the date the event is postponed to make your choice:

• Accepting the new event date (this is the default option if you make no choice).
• Transferring to one of our other event locations for any date in the future.
• A refund (less a booking & card processing fee which will never be more than £10).

14 to 16 year olds can take part so long as they are running with an adult at all times.

16 to 18 year olds can take part running on their own but they will have to provide parental consent prior to the challenge starting.

We will post you a special team "SWCP Relay" t-shirt prior to the challenge. Although there is no obligation we hope you will wear it during the challenge! There are no medals awarded.

Nothing!

No.

No. At least not initially. The numbers able to take part in this challenge are limited so we kindly ask that you only register yourself on to one leg of one team. If there are any unfilled legs closer to the challenge date then we will open these up to existing team members - so this will be your opportunity to run more than one leg.

No! It's open entry for either team (Red or White). Unless you are wanting to be part of the same team as someone else then there is no benefit or disadvantage to being part of either team. It is deliberate that both teams are open to anyone in the trail running community - this random way of creating the teams will mean that both are fairly evenly matched!

Yes - but only if you plan ahead, both know which team you are looking to join (Red or White) and grab the legs quickly when bookings open! Failing that it is still better to grap your preferred leg on either team. After booking pop us an email and we will do our best to shuffle participants to try to get you both on the same team.

Yes. You are more than welcome to run with someone else but it will only be you who is part of the official challenge / team.

From experience there will be drop-outs prior to the challenge kicking off - but there won't be many. As such we would recommend you signing up for another leg if you feel you can do it, even if it isn't your preferred leg. Then pop us an email and we will have you on record should your preferred leg become available.

Whatsapp. 72hrs from the challenge starting we will create two Whatsapp groups - one for Team Red and one for Team White. On your group you can introduce yourself, chat to the rest of the team and provide encouragement. We will also be asking you to update your progress and share photos of yourself during your leg once the challenge kicks off.

SMS. 72hrs from the challenge we will send you an email. Within this email we will share with you two contacts. These will be the names and phone numbers of the two people on the legs before and after you. Although we encourage all communication and chat to take place on the Whatsapp group there could be a need for more direct communication with your closest team mates (for example if you arrive at your hand over point and you can't locate each other or there is a black spot in mobile data coverage so Whatsapp doesn't work).

These are estimates and your actual start time will almost definitely change, falling either earlier or later than this published time.

It is worth noting that, once the teams have been formed, we will be asking all team members to provide a guide on their anticipated time for their leg. At this point we will update the predicted times across all legs and this will give you a more accurate indication of when your leg start time is likely to be.

Once the relay is in progress all legs' anticipated start times will dynamically adjust on an ongoing basis.

Yes. You will need to agree to the following as part of the booking process:

1. You will recce your chosen leg prior to the challenge, to ensure you are familiar with it.
2. You will have someone to support you during your participation. This could be some who runs with you or simply someone who follows you in a vehicle, checking in on you and providing support if or when needed.
3. You are happy to communicate via WhatsApp and happy for your contact number to be shared with other runners on your team for the duration of the challenge.

We, Endurancelife, set the challenge and control the formation of the teams but the challenge itself is "unsupported" by us. This means we don't provide medical cover or supplies such as water or nutrition. This is why we insist that to take part you must have your own support person.

No. You must have your own support person to help you on the challenge should you need it.

GPS tracking: Each team has a gps tracking baton. This is passed from team member to team member as the relay progress through the legs. A link to follow your team's baton will be shared prior to the start of the challenge.

Online / webpage updates: We will be updating the progress of the relay on the relay webpage. This will mean the estimated departure times of each leg will dynamically update here as the relay progresses. This is the primary method of keeping up-to-date with your team's progress. Although the GPS tracking is fun to watch, due to data blackspots, it will go through periods of down-time.

Your Team's Whatsapp group: By keeping an eye on your team's group chat you will know which leg your team is currently on.

We have multiple batons for the water crossings. Once someone arrives at a crossing they wave (if visual sight is possible) or message on the Whatsapp group and then the next person on the other side of the water starts (they will have been given a new baton by us). The tracking all works seamlessly so to other people it just looks like the same tracking baton.
