FAMAU 24
No cut off - no minimum amount of laps. Enjoy racing if you wish, but you can also enjoy a no pressure environment where you can do your own thing, at your own speed!
12 or 24 hours on the iconic Clwydian Hill of Moel Famau. This challenge involves a beautiful 7.2km loop being used, which will test you with it's 500m of ascent each time, with competitors completing as many laps of this as possible in 12 or 24 hours. Solo runners, and Team entrants are invited to tackle this event, whether you aim to be competing at the sharp end or just simply fancy a day/night adventure with friends!
The Route (7.51km & 511m of ascent)
Based on the slopes of the mountain at Plas Dolben Farm - competitors will base themselves in the camp field where tents will be pitched, vans parked and support crews at the ready whenever you need them. At the end of each lap, a peel off from the dibbing area will enable you to access this area, with feed stations, toilets, showers, shelter from the elements if needed and your spare kit.
Participants don't have to continually be on the move for the duration - have as many rests as you like for as long as you like - just ensure that you enter and exit the route through the correct areas to record your laps and times correctly! What happens if your out on a lap and the clock hits 12/24 hours? Then you carry on to the finish and the extra time taken to complete your final lap will be calculated to help place you or your team in the results list.
What you get:
- Camping & 1 vehicle pitch
- Bespoke finisher medal
- Event Memento
- Well stocked feed stations and refreshments
- Electronic timing
- GPS Tracking
- Toilets & Shower Facilities
- Access to covered rest areas
- A fantastic atmosphere for 24 hours of hill and trail running and walking!
How the Event works:
SOLO RUNNERS - Solo runners start with the main race at 12.00pm, they then carry on running as many laps as they can for 12 or 24 hours. They can have support crew (we strongly recommend this due to the nature of the event) in their camping area but not on the route. They can stop for rests and food whenever they wish. Solo runners should always leave the course at the solo exit/entry point or risk the timing system missing a lap.
PAIRS & TEAMS - Teams start with the main race at 12.00pm, they then carry on running as many laps as they can for 12 or 24 hours, each member of the team must complete at least one lap. You cannot use runners not registered in your team. Always leave the course at the exchange point or you risk the timing system missing you. Always enter the course at the exchange point or you risk disqualification. You do not have to have someone on the course at all times, teams can take a break and resume later in the race. People love the excitement of the mass start, but you can also opt to start later than 12.00pm if your team would like to have a quieter start.
