MTC Merry Maidens Ultra
The MTC Merry Maidens is a new single-day ultra covering approximately 34.5 miles. The route runs from Premier Inn, Truro to Lands End and follows the same course used for the MTC JOGLE event but with reduced daily distances. The event also serves as Day 13 of the MTC ALBION thirteen day end to end challenge.
Entries are limited to 40 competitors. All finishers receive a Merry Maidens medal and male and female champions receive bespoke trophies. Race mapping and GPX files are provided to entrants only and are emailed about four weeks before the event.
The organiser enforces time cut offs based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph; competitors falling below this requirement may receive a warning and can be withdrawn if the minimum is not met on consecutive days. The race is cup free so competitors must bring a reusable cup. Check point provisions include malt loaf, sandwiches, sweets, squash, cola and water, and dietary needs are collected in advance.
Competitors must carry mandatory kit including a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, provided route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and an emergency food pack. All deposits and entry fees are non-refundable and entrants may opt to add personal cancellation insurance during checkout.
Race Distance: 35 miles
Part of the Mount to Coast End to End Challenge Series.
