FAQ
This edition- Do I need to bring my own water?
Most events provide water at aid stations. However, bring your own backup supply to be safe. For longer events, a hydration pack is advisable. Check the specific event details for aid station locations.
- What should I do if the weather is really bad?
Check the event website for any weather-related updates. Ensure you have appropriate layering and waterproofs. Events rarely cancel due to weather; focus on staying safe and visible. Muddy conditions are normal for fell and trail events.
