The route: London to Paris in four days
Camping
Each evening, our basecamps are your home away from home. Tents are provided and set up on arrival from 15:00, with pack-down by 08:00. Enjoy hot showers, a hearty dinner (Thursday–Saturday), and breakfast (Friday–Sunday). Catch up with your team, swap stories with other runners, and relax in a vibrant, social hub. Optional yoga and massage keep you loose for the next day’s run.
Travel
Your team of five needs one vehicle with at least two drivers (who are also runners). This car shuttles non-running teammates between changeover points and gets you home post-event. Provide your registration plate and passport details in advance. Our driver pack includes routes, parking, changeover points, and local cafés for lunch and snacks (breakfast and dinner are provided at basecamp).
Ferry
Your entry fee includes a return ferry ticket from Newhaven to Dieppe for your team car. All teams travel together on the overnight ferry on Day 1, crashing in shared areas for a unique adventure. Think airplane style seats or roll mats and sleeping bags on the floor. Return on Monday, or let us know if you want to adjust your plans and hang out in France for a few more days.
Navigation
Each team gets a live tracking device, doubling as your baton, passed between runners at changeover points and recharged nightly at basecamp HQ. Download the RunGo App for turn-by-turn directions (headphones recommended). Teammates, friends, and family can track your progress live. Our route map ensures you stay on course through roads, trails, and towns.
Terrain
Expect a mix of road running, trails, and some off-road sections across the 225 miles. You’ll navigate road crossings, towns, and open countryside. Our meticulously planned route prioritizes safety and enjoyment, but stay aware of your surroundings and run responsibly.
Food
Fuel up with included meals:
Day 1: Dinner at basecamp.
Day 2 & 3: Breakfast and dinner, featuring local cuisine.
Day 4: Breakfast to power your final push.
Inform us of dietary requirements, and we’ll accommodate where possible. During the day, explore local cafés and bakeries listed in your driver pack for lunch and snacks at your own pace.
