You are one of a pack of Omega Wolves... Lost. ​ AIM To return to the Lair. Evade capture from the Alpha Wolves ​ CHALLENGE When you are released, your challenge is to run back to the safety of your Lair located in Sunnyhurst Woods, Darwen. ​ 20 minutes after your departure, we will release 10 Alpha Wolves to come and chase you down. ​ You may choose any route you wish from the start line to the Lair. Each Omega will have a GPS tracker. ​ As the crow flies, the distance back to the Lair is 10-11 miles.. However, your aim is to also evade the Alpha Wolves, some of which may take the direct route! ​ Each Omega will be graded during the run. The 10 Omegas with lowest elevation gained throughout will earn the Wooden Spoon of Shame! ​ If Both Towers are hit (Rivington and Darwen) you will earn a little something extra! (if you don't hit them, you won't know what it is you earn!) ​ What if I am caught? The Howling Trail chase will have 2 ribbons and the medal coloured different dependant on this! ​ Of course there is a chance our Alphas will catch you! Fear not, you can still continue! You will earn the Omega Medal if caught and the Alpha Medal if you successfully make it safely back to the Lair! ​ How Many Alphas will chase? We will release 10 Alpha Wolves to chase you down. Our Alphas are experienced trail & fell runners with a lot of navigation experience. The Alphas will choose any route they wish to take. If an Alpha Wolf catches you they will record your race number before you can continue. Alphas WILL NOT have access to your trackers
