Common questions

: The Capital Challenge is one distance: 28 Mile (45.1 km).
: No course file for the Capital Challenge yet, so there's no measured climb here. When LDWA London publish one, this fills in.
: Not graded yet. A TRP grade is worked out from distance and climb measured off the course file, and there isn't one for the Capital Challenge yet.
: No. The Capital Challenge is not a marked course. You are expected to navigate it yourself.
: We don't hold a compulsory kit list for the Capital Challenge. LDWA London confirm mandatory kit in their race information, usually in the final instructions.
: We don't hold published time limits for the Capital Challenge. If LDWA London set cut-offs, they'll be in the race information.
: We don't hold a checkpoint list for the Capital Challenge. What's on the table varies a lot between races, so check the LDWA London race information rather than turning up expecting food.
: Not yet — we don't hold a course file for the Capital Challenge. Some organisers only send the GPX to entrants. If we get one, it goes up free, with no sign-up.
