Spectators are welcome anywhere on the course that’s a public right of way, but the best places to cheer people on are at the various checkpoints (see timings below and routes page for more info). The runners will really appreciate the support, so why not come along, grab a pint, and cheer them through? Our friendly marshals at each checkpoint will be happy to talk to you about the race whenever they aren’t busy assisting runners.
Race HQ will be active all day at The Mendip Acitivity Centre, and the marshals / Race Director there will be able to update you on general progress (although we aren’t able to tell you where a specific runner is).
If you want to follow a runner more closely by car or bike, head to the routes page and download the full map pack, then catch up with them anywhere the route crosses or follows a road.
Details of the pubs (postcodes, opening times, etc) can be found on the pub pages.
We have calculated the expected times for runners to be coming through each checkpoint as follows:
Note: these are unlikely to be as accurate as the times imply!
NOTE: There is NO VEHICLE ACCESS for spectators to CP7 the Wireless Station at Rains Batch because it is at the end of a single track lane and must be kept clear at all times. If you wish to see runners there is limited parking along Ubley Warren Drive and Blackmoor Reserve car park BS40 7XR. Please respect the local community and park responsibly or it may compromise our permissions to hold the event in future years. Thank you.
