Course questions

How does this format work?

Visit the checkpoints in the specified order, choosing your route between them. The fastest team across both days wins.

What experience do we need?

Both partners should be comfortable with long days in the mountains, map-and-compass navigation and carrying the equipment needed for an overnight camp. Choose a course suited to the experience and fitness of both team members, and review the event’s entry requirements when booking.

What do we carry?

Carry the equipment, clothing, food and camping kit you need for the full weekend. The mandatory kit list is the minimum requirement; choose any additional kit to suit the conditions.

How does the overnight camp work?
