Any unvetted U18 athletes entering this course will not be allowed to run. The long course only will be in Mass Start format.

Therefore, it requires some experience of similarly challenging courses as well as the ability to self navigate using map and compass. It has a minimum age of 16 on the day of the race. The medium course will be held in Time Trial format.
The short course:
