You and your partner will need to have signed on between 12.15 and 1.15. There will then be a race brief and pairs will be set off at one minute intervals.

Kit: full safety kit must be carried by both runners and EACH will also need a fully charged mobile phone.

I'll be using this event to remember my friend Matthew Mcsevney with a suitable bottle of malt - you'll be invited raise a dream at some point over the afternoon.
