The "route" is exactly the same as the Skyline and you can run it any time over the next four months. Full kit will need to be carried and as will any water other than at the virtual Mam Nick. After last year's event, the committee have asked that all litter (eg, empty energy gels) must be removed from the gym after the event.
Watch out for the breakaway Real FRA though, just for proper fellrunners. They cancel their events if the weather's too good, 'cos what would the point be? I'll stick with our trusty original FRA myself.
