Common questions

: The Daffodil Run & Walk is one distance: 13 Mile (20.9 km).
: No course file for the Daffodil Run & Walk yet, so there's no measured climb here. When NAV4 Adventure 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 Daffodil Run & Walk yet.
: Yes, the course is marked. Navigation skills are not required.
: We don't hold a compulsory kit list for the Daffodil Run & Walk. NAV4 Adventure confirm mandatory kit in their race information, usually in the final instructions.
: Simply signposted with marshals at key points, and in their words very easy to navigate with no special skills needed. Three start windows: walkers 09:00 to 10:00, slower runners 10:00 to 11:00, faster runners 11:00 to 11:30. Two drinks stations, passed twice each. Started in 2016 to support the businesses after the Pooley Bridge floods.
: We don't hold a checkpoint list for the Daffodil Run & Walk. What's on the table varies a lot between races, so check the NAV4 Adventure race information rather than turning up expecting food.
