Ultra Running Ltd MTC JOGLE

The course

What you’re in for

John o' Groats to Land's End on foot, 854 miles in seventeen consecutive days, averaging more than fifty miles a day. Twelve places. The Mount to Coast line run north to south: the Caithness coast, Drumochter, the Borders, Shap, the Cheshire plain, the Severn, Dartmoor's edge and west Cornwall, with a hotel at the end of every day. 1,374km. Preset cut-offs each day at a minimum 4 mph average, a warning the first time you fall below it, withdrawal the second. Nothing on the course after ten at night. Checkpoints every eight miles or so from day one, trackers with SOS, maps and GPX for entrants only. The current course record was set in a single pair of the organiser's road shoes, which they mention because they mean it about the shoes.

Terrain and trail

Road and cycle path almost throughout — the organiser supplies road shoes and advises trail shoes for about four miles on day six only. The hills are real but they are road hills: the Ord of Caithness, Drumochter, Shap Fell, the Severn gorge, Dartmoor. The ground is never the problem. Seventeen days is.
