You
  • You have sufficient hill fitness to do your team justice. This does not mean that you have walked/run 30 miles carrying 30 lbs before, however, it does assume that you are willing to devote the time and energy to maximise your chances of covering the distance in time.
  • You know how to navigate in poor visibility across rough ground. This is a requirement and the organisers stipulate it for basic safety reasons. Darkness, mist or pea soup - you have the ability and presence of mind to direct yourself to the next checkpoint.
Teams
  • The event is limited to 40 teams, however, there are no rules governing the ratio of solo teams to relay teams. Registration is on a first come first served basis.
  • Solo teams must comprise 5 individuals who must all be known to one another. The organisers will not assist in the creation of stranger teams.
  • Relay teams can comprise either 2 or 3 sub-teams each with 5 team members. Sub-teams changeovers will take place at checkpoints 4, 6 and 8.
  • Pick your team carefully - especially if you plan to compete in the solo event: 30 miles is a distance over which tempers can fray.
  • Total combined weight carried by each team must be at least 150lbs. Clearly, it does not require an Einstein to work out that not each member need therefore carry 30lbs...the weight can be spread around.

Stewards
  • Each checkpoint will be manned by stewards who will be in radio contact with race control and hold absolute authority over any team's continued participation in the race.
  • The stewards may assess any team in order to satisfy themselves that it is maintaining an adequate average speed and/or is sufficiently fit to continue the race.
  • Finally, the stewards will carry out spot checks to satisfy themselves that the total combined weight carried by the team is at least 150lbs.
Organisers
  • Exmoor 30:30 is organised by Exmoor 30:30 Limited, a company limited by guarantee which is non-profit making and from which no fees, salaries or any other type of remuneration is drawn.
