THE EVENT GUIDE

Welcome to Fortitude Denbies!
We’re absolutely delighted to have you all with us for what we hope will grow to be a great new event on the UK Ultra calendar.
This is our first event at Denbies and we’re looking forward to a Fortitude closely resembling the first we held at Pippingford. This will be a smaller event with depending on sign ups in the last few weeks hopefully around 75 of you taking part, making friends and enjoying the event.
Take your time with the event, remember it’s all about pacing and staying sane, support each other and whatever happens don’t give up. This is all about you vs you.

TRAVEL
DENBIES WINE ESTATE, RH5 6AA
Parking is available free of charge at the venue on the day of the event, and for those using public transport we are just under a mile from Dorking station.
On arrival at the venue please follow signs down to the event village and parking.
The event takes place in a private estate, no cars may be left on site overnight before or after the event.
REGISTRATION
At registration, you will be provided with everything you need to take part in the event on the day. You’ll be provided with a bib number which will be used to track you throughout the day.
THE EVENT
Within the event village there are two key areas the race HQ & Feed Station and the Athlete Area.
Within the Athlete Area there is space for every participant to set themselves up a spot, set up a little tent, a chair or whatever they wish to help them get through the 10 hours. You can also use your car as a base as parking is close to the start/finish.
Unfortunately it is not possible for us to provide cover for everyone but we do offer a dry bag drop at the event HQ if required.
At 08:30 we will countdown and everyone will start their first lap together. You will process around the course following the marked route. Various split points are indicated by signs and marshalls for the blue, red, black courses. On completion of your course you will return to the start where you can access snacks/drinks etc and chill ready for the next lap.
You will be awarded an event medal and finishers shirt based on your ability to complete 10 laps of our roughly 3mile, 4mile or 5mile loops in the given time.
You can change down distance at any time based on how the day is going but you must complete all 10 laps and return to the race village within each hour. Failure to complete a lap and return to the start within the hour will mean you can’t progress onto the next hour.
You’re laps will be tracked electronically with unique checkpoints on the 3, 4 and 5 mile courses.
If you decide to withdraw at any point let our team at the lap finish know and hand in your timing chip.
The Feed Station will have at a minimum;
- Access to Fresh Water
- A Selection of Pre Packaged Sweet and Savoury Snacks
- Fresh Fruit
- Sachets of Performance Energy in a variety of flavours

TIMING / RESULTS
We will be using an electronic timing system on the day using your bib numbers as a reference. Progress through the day will not show what colour laps you are on this will be added after the event
