If you decide to retire you must do so at a checkpoint if at all possible and inform the event crew of your decision. We will provide somewhere warm and dry for you to wait (likely to be in a vehicle if an outdoor checkpoint) until we can transport you back the event HQ in Sheffield. This will be considered a lower priority than the operation of the checkpoint to support those still participating, so may not be until the checkpoint closes. You can, of course, make your own arrangement for transport back to Dig Deep HQ or elsewhere. However, it is essential that you inform a race official before leaving the event. If you cannot get to a checkpoint to inform a race marshal, please call Dig Deep HQ to inform them (the number will be printed on your race number)

Yes, yes you really do. Please just make things easy for us and comply with the kit rules. It could save your - or someone else's - life in an emergency. You may be kit checked at any point in the race. All mandatory kit lists are available on the individual race pages.

You absolutely MUST stop and try to help. It is very important that we all look after each other out on the trails. If a runner is seriously injured then you should call 999 first (ask for POLICE then MOUNTAIN RESCUE) then call Race HQ (the number will be on your race number). If you have no mobile phone signal please wait till another runner arrives to assist then run on until you get a signal. If the runner can't move and is getting cold, please use your and other runners' emergency foil blankets to keep the injured runner warm.

If you realise you have gone wrong somewhere, you should turn around and retrace your steps until you get back onto the race route. Once you're back at the point where you went wrong, you'll probably be able to see what the correct way actually is. If you become seriously lost and can’t find your way back on to the race route, please phone Race HQ and we will do our best to help you out. If you’re worried that this might happen to you, PLEASE download our gpx file and store it in your smartphone/GPS watch just in case. All GPX files are available to download below:
