The pit stops will have a fantastic level of provision but may not be the same as our Trail Series events as not all the same partners will be present.

This must take place before midnight on Sunday 19th September 2021.

We welcome teams on the event! By creating a team, it also helps us assign you to similar start waves and camping zones (if applicable).

Teams of friends: As we need all medical and dietary info from each participant we need each individual to register themselves. There will be a section on the registration form that allows you enter your team name, so we can link you with your other team mates.

Corporate teams: If you are interested in entering a corporate team, please visit out Corporate Team page for more information. We can invoice your company for the places so the individuals don’t have to pay on registration when signing up. We will also let you know how we can support your pre-event experience on elements such as kit design and training days.

Whether it’s for team building, investing in your team’s mental and physical health or raising money for your chosen charity, Dulux London Revolution is the perfect corporate event, accommodating all ages, experience and fitness levels. Choose to cycle, walk, or run a variety of distances, with options to camp overnight or take it on in one go.

SIGNAGE
The route will be marked with arrows (white on a red background)

The route maps are available to view on the Participant Information Platform. Always follow the event signage in case there are any last-minute changes to the route.

NAVIGATIONAL DEVICES
Our route distances are produced by a navigational expert using an electronic mapping system. This is as accurate as possible but discrepancies can occur between the use of different GPS running computers, the position on the route and atmospheric conditions. This in turn may lead to potential minor differences in distance when out on the route.

Times will be taken from your timing chip at the Start, Basecamp and Finish and will be published online after the event by Results Base. A link to the results page can be found on the Participant Information Platform.

There will be a back-marker who will follow the route behind the last participant. They will stay out on the route until everyone has finished or the route closes.

Pit stops are approximately every 10km – 15 km and will give you a chance to refresh and recharge for the next stage and check in with the medics if you need to. We recommend a quick turnaround of a max of 20 mins to get back on the trail as quickly as possible.

All the pit stops provide snacks, drinks, toilets and first aid facilities.

Please note: we do not publish the exact locations of pit stops due to very limited space and private access. In order to gain the necessary permissions to run the event, friends and family will NOT be permitted at pit stops.

The routes are open until 9.00pm on Saturday 25th September.

Please note: Each pit-stop will have a cut off time (determined closer to the start of the event). If you miss the cut off time, regardless of the route opening times, you will be liable for disqualification.

In partnership with Open Tracking, you can now hire a GPS tracker for the duration of the event

Your tracker will provide accurate location data, available online for your friends and family to view, so they can see how well you’re progressing along the route. This is NOT linked to your event timing, but it does mean your supporters can see more accurately where you are throughout the event and how close you are to the finish line!

Visit Open Tracking to book now.

We take your health and safety very seriously.

EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBERS
You will be provided with emergency contact numbers for the event weekend which will go through to our central Event Control team.

• These will be clearly marked on your race number.
• Please make sure you add these numbers to your mobile contacts list.

If for some reason you can’t complete the challenge you will be provided with an Event Control number, which you must ring to tell us you are pulling out of the event.

In the case of a serious medical emergency we will arrange evacuation for any participant from the course. However, if you are just having trouble completing the distance, try to get to the next pit stop where we recommend arranging your own transport to the Basecamp or the Finish.

Please note: if you aren’t able to complete the full package you signed up for, then we cannot guarantee you a medal that shows the distance you did achieve.

Your tent will be pitched ready and waiting for you when you arrive at Basecamp. You are not permitted to provide your own tent and camp on site. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat.

If you wish to camp overnight on site you will need to book the relevant package.

Upon arrival into Basecamp, head to our Tent Allocation team who will allocate tents to participants on a first come, first served basis.

When we issue Registration Packs, you will be allocated a colour. You will then be allocated a tent in this colour zone.

To ensure you’re in the same colour zone as your partner or friends, we would recommending creating a ‘team’. We will endeavour to ensure all team members are allocated the same colour.

You can create a team through your MyEvents Portal by clicking on ‘Create a team’.

We can’t pre-allocate tents to groups, but if you come in together we will attempt to allocate tents next to one another where feasible.

The tents are 2 man pop up tents (allocated one per person). If you are participating in a couple you can opt to put your bags in one tent and yourselves in another.

Unfortunately not, if you’re looking to use your own caravan, we’d recommend looking into our Weekender excl. camping package and staying overnight somewhere local.

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to confirm if we will be able to offer massages for the 2021 event for the overnight packages. We will update this section as and when we know more.

Plug sockets will be available at Basecamp.

Please be considerate when using this facility. Charge your device as required and then collect it to allow others to charge theirs.
