Over 300 people have signed up from all over the world to take part. All runners need is a GPS watch or Strava to record their time.

New entrants will be offered a full refund if the race gets cancelled or postponed due to the Coronavirus. If travel complications make it impossible to get to the start line, runners can request a refund right up until one week before the race start date.
