Challenger's Rules
Please read the following rules and then select
the Entry Form button at the end of this page. Print the completed
form, sign it and send with entry fee to the address detailed on the
form.
- A Coventry Way Challenge (hereafter known as the "Event") is
open to all persons aged 18 or over on the day of the Event.
Younger entrants are allowed but must be either: a) a member of
the LDWA (those under 16 must be accompanied at all times by an
adult), or b) if a non-member, must be accompanied at all times by
a parent or legal guardian. In either case the relevant
adult/parent/guardian must sign the Entry Form.
- Times and starting points are as stated below. All
classes must be completed by 21.00 (i.e. a 15 hour time limit) and
participants must pass through each checkpoint in the correct
order.
- Each entrant must register 30 minutes before the start time
stated below to receive/check details of any route changes.
The route description will show checkpoint closing times. Entrants
must leave each checkpoint before the closing time. Anyone
arriving after the closing time must retire.
- Retiring entrants should advise us that they have retired and
help to ensure that this is recorded on the CP Control Sheets at a
checkpoint. Transport back to the finish will be arranged
wherever practicable as soon as possible. In an emergency -
if retiring entrants cannot reach a checkpoint - they should
inform another entrant giving them their Name & Number for the
other entrant to hand in at the next checkpoint. A mobile
telephone number will be provided at the start. Under no
circumstances retire without telling the organisers!
- The checkpoint marshal may retire anyone showing signs of
undue stress or who has broken the rules.
- Entries must be made on the official entry form (or photocopy)
with only one entry per form.
- The entry fee is £10 (For entry on the
day the fee is increased by £3) or for relays

'ACWA'). The organisers reserve the right to
refuse any entry and return the full fee. Entries to be

- All successful finishers will receive a certificate and a
woven badge. T-shirts, if available, will be on sale at the
finish for successful finishers.

leash to prevent disturbing farm animals or impeding other
walkers.
