The Fellsman Dart
The start of the event is at Redshaw Checkpoint at 1pm. Due the remoteness of the checkpoint there isn’t space for vehicles, therefore all entrants will register on to the event at Ingleton Community Centre between 9.30am and 11.00am.
Entrants will then be transported by coach to the start location just in time to set off. Self-transportation to the start location is not permitted.
The final leg takes the entrant across the top of the hills to the east of Wharfedale, drops down into the village of Grassington then crosses the river Wharfe.
Both events finish as you cross the line and “Check In” at Final Check located in the school reception at Upper Wharfedale High School in Threshfield, Grassington.
