Camping is available on Friday night at Cartmel and Saturday (£12) for those who finish late or have a long journey home after the race. To confirm, camping on the Friday / Saturday night is for tents and short wheel base campers (e.g. VW T4 / T5’s). It is not suitable for larger camper vans or motor homes. Vehicles longer than 5m are not permitted on site. 

Coach transfer

Please book by 21st September (£12).

Registration

Caldbeck Paris Hall is 500m from the start.

Public transport

Cark and Grange Over Sands Railway Stations are only 3 miles from Cartmel. A taxi would be around £20. Please book in advance.

Food and drink

There will be event catering at Cartmel School from Friday evening selling food and hot drinks for anybody arriving to camp at the racecourse or coming to register. They will be selling food for breakfast on Saturday morning from 4.45am before the coaches depart at 5.45am prompt. On Saturday afternoon and into Sunday morning as well as providing the runners meal they will also be selling hot food and drinks to any supporters waiting to see friends and family members. 

This event is trying to raise its sustainability game. Yes, it's small stuff, but it's a start, and every bit helps. There are two main changes:

• Cups

  Feed station cups are this event's biggest source of waste so it is completely stopping the use of them. There will be no cups at feed stations. You will need to bring your own hydration system, whether this is a camel back, hydration vest, soft bottle or simply bring your own collapsible cup, carry this with you and it can be topped up at the feed stations. 

• T-shirts

  Many of you love and use them, however, some of them get disposed of without ever getting used. So, when you enter you will have the option to choose "No T-Shirt". The cost of your entry will remain the same, and the equivalent of the cost of your T-Shirt will be donated to the selected charity. 

Stunning views, excellent aid stations with proper toilets, the most helpful and supportive marshals I've known and some great challenging terrain. One to sign up for. Nicola J
