There will be String courses provided each day for young children, using special maps.
Courses 18 & 19
Copies of courses 18 (Yellow) & 19 (White) will be on display in the assembly area each day.
Shadowing children
We must ensure that the competition is fair to everyone. If juniors require shadowing, they must enter the colour coded courses. No shadowing will be allowed before your own run. The adult shadower must not pick up a map at the start.
Electronic Punching
The SPORTident electronic punching system will be used, and all versions of SI card are accepted.
Litter
Could you please take all litter home with you.
Biosecurity
As part of our commitment to the Lake District environment we are asking competitors to support actions to minimise the introduction or spread of non-native species and diseases such as phytophthera pamorum (larch) and ash dieback. Everyone is asked to arrive at the event with clean dry clothing and footwear.
After finishing there may be footbaths to rinse your shoes and reduce the spread to other race sites.
Environmental statement and water
Although many people are travelling a long way for our event we are endeavouring to reduce the event’s environmental impact as much as possible. We will not therefore be providing bottles of water for competitors at the finish or on the courses. You will be expected to bring your own water. If you are intending to take a water bottle to the start on the ‘remote start days’, could you please ensure that the bottle is fully crushed before depositing it in the bin liners provided, one of the volunteer organising team will have to carry it down although offers from ‘finished competitors’ to help with this would be most welcome! We would also like competitors to take their own rubbish ‘home’ with them. We are trying to reduce the use of ‘single use’ plastic and there will be fewer bespoke signs than in previous years.
