Keep the sea on your right and the land on your left and you won't go far wrong!
You will follow the coastal footpath which is well signposted. You don't need to be an experienced navigator.
Well-stocked and every 10 miles.

At the finish point each day a bowl of deliciously hot homemade soup with bread roll awaits.
At each checkpoint you will be welcomed and ‘checked in' by the staff for safety and your time logged. Your position on the course is known so if you're late you can be assisted.
The course is covered by a medical support team. Every morning at challenge registration the medics will be available to sort out any blisters, tape feet up etc. They'll also be available at the checkpoints too.
Each day you will be instructed to meet at the event HQ and then be transported to the start. Once you join the team on the event you can leave your car at the event HQ and take advantage of the event minibuses. On completion of the days run you will be transported back to the event HQ - easy!
13 hours - finish by 21:30.
A minimum speed needs to be maintained in order to meet the cut off time. Any late runners will be retired from the event.
Just to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone involved in organising the ACC. A fantastic event, amazing support and brilliantly organised. I loved every minute of it! Carol M
