Best Time : Eastbourne in 14 hours 54 minutes, 2006, Thrust

2008 Winners : Thrust - Falmer in 15 hours

This class has no age restrictions - Male, Female or mixed teams. We would recommend a minimum age of 18 for this class.

Class C hike from BURITON, the winning team being the one that covers the furthest distance of the route in 15 hours.  At the expiration of the 15 hours, teams cannot proceed beyond the next checkpoint or service area.

The team must consist of three team members who hike the whole distance together.

IT IS EXPECTED THAT TEAMS WILL HAVE HAD SUITABLE TRAINING AND PREPARATION FOR THE HIKE, AND THAT ALL MEMBERS ARE PHYSICALLY FIT.

ALL team members must book in at ALL Checkpoints and  Service areas. Failure to do this will automatically disqualify the team.

The winning team will be the one that completes the furthest distance. If two teams complete the same distance, the team arriving in the shortest time will win. This is a race event, and is not intended to be a map reading test. However, good map reading skills are essential in case of bad weather or an unexpected diversion (i.e. if you get lost!).

The winners will be presented with the West Side trophy.

The team must comply with the rules regarding clothing and equipment at all times.

Teams may start from Buriton between 0800 and 1000 hours and have 17 hours from their start time to complete the hike (i.e. if the team passes through a checkpoint after the expiration of 14 hours and 59 minutes, they have 2 hours to reach the next checkpoint for their time there to count).
