Sponsored by Rab & run under FRA rules, Dark & White are organising their 6th two day mountain marathon. Run along similar lines to previous events, the courses for 2012 will all be in score format avoiding snakes of runners & testing your navigation more. There is a rolling start each day so you can set off when ready.
Entries can be solo or pairs; in addition to a variety of runners classes there is a walkers class for those who want an easier weekend.
The Event Centre & Registration will open late afternoon (time tbc) until 10.00pm on Friday & from 7.00 until 9.30am on Saturday.
Choose your own start time (Day 1 between 8.30 & 10.30am, 7.00 & 9.00am Day 2) Please note the Saturday start is likely to be a 30 minute walk from the Event Centre & registration may take some time so please don\'t arrive late! If you have your own dibber you can use rapid registration - just check your details are correct sign-in; hand in your kit list & disclaimer; clear your SPORTident dibbers & head off to the start.
Time limits: 6hrs Saturday & 5hrs Sunday for the standard course; the Elite course is 7hrs day 1 & 6 hours day 2. Each checkpoint will have a specified points value - considering your ability, aim to collect as many points as possible each day within the time allowed. If you are late, penalty points will be deducted. Strategy & route planning are as important as fitness. Both days points totals will be combined to produce overall results.
