Sussex Stride - The Rules

The Sussex Stride is open to walkers and runners who must be over 18 years of age on 1st September 2010. Membership of the LDWA is not required.

The opening and closing times of check and clip points will be strictly adhered to.

Retirements must be made at checkpoints. If a retiree is unable to reach a checkpoint they should pass their checkcard to another entrant, who will notify the next checkpoint. Alternatively, the emergency phone number provided may be used.

The checkpoint marshals will have the right to retire any entrant who they consider is unfit to continue. Transport to Longhill School will be provided for retirees.

The weather on the South Downs can change quickly. The organisers recommend that all entrants carry the following :
Maps to cover the whole route (OS 198&199/Explorer 122 & 123), compass, whistle, torch with spare batteries and bulb, waterproofs, warm clothing, first aid kit and extra food & drink.

To qualify for a certificate all entrants must have their checkcards marked at all check and clip points.

All entries should be on the official entry form or a photocopy of it.

Should the entry limit of 150 be reached priority will be given to those who have completed the other events in KSS Triple Challenge.
