coast to cathedral on the West Mendip Way
This event is run under FRA Rules

Kit Requirements

This event is insured by the Fell Runners Association who require relay runners to carry the following minimum kit:
  • windproof whole body cover
  • map print here and compass
  • whistle

Which should all fit neatly into a small bum-bag that can be worn around the waist without much hassle. We suggest that each team make up one kit bag that can be passed between runners. The baton is a coloured streamer that can be attached to your bag.

Teams will be disqualified where any of their runners are found not to be carrying the required equipment.

You can print a map with directions for any leg of the route from here.

Full details on these requirements can be found at FRA Safety Requirements for Fell Races.

Relay Rules

The race is run as a 'hand-over' relay with teams passing a baton between a series of up to six runners.

Teams may only exchange their baton at the end of each leg, as detailed on the route maps.

Team runners must carry the baton supplied by the event. Solo runners are not required to carry a baton.

Route

The race follows the West Mendip Way except for two diversions on leg six.
