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 for
06:00 starters) and participants must pass through each checkpoint
in the correct order.
- Each entrant must register about 30 minutes before the
intended start time 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 an official entry form (or
photocopy) with only one entry per form.
- The entry fee is £12 (entry on the day
NOT allowed) or for relays £24/team, includes
cost of 36 page updated A5 "Map & Route Description" booklet
(cheques payable to 'ACWA'). The organisers reserve the
right to refuse any entry and return the full fee. Entries
to be received by 31st March 2012.
- 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.
- Dogs accompanying walkers must be kept under control and on a
leash to prevent disturbing farm animals or impeding other
walkers.
- In all matters the decision of the organisers is final.
- Recommended Start Times are shown in Table 1
below. The "Walker/Runner" start times are an option for
those who expect to Walk part of the way, Run part of the way, or
fast Walkers, or slow Runners. Start times should be chosen
so that you will pass through all checkpoints and reach the finish
during the opening times shown in Table 2
below.
- Register about 30 minutes before your planned start time.
- Registration from 05:00
- Start times are flexible.
- Any individual may start at any time up until 10:00.
Please note opening times of checkpoints below.
Plan your start times so you pass
through checkpoints when they are open.
