All runners must comply with the SHR safety code and race rules on clothing and equipment, which means carrying and appropriately using waterproof and windproof full body cover, other body cover appropriate to the conditions on the day, map, compass and whistle.

The race takes place in a beautiful part of the country. For it to be sustainable, it is essential that landowners' property is treated with care and respect, no litter is left anywhere, and parking and behaviour generally show consideration for local residents and other visitors to the area.
