The number of Entries accepted will be managed to ensure the maximum number of starting Runners is not exceeded. The official maximum number of Runners, approved by the Authorities, is 150.

The final decision on whether an Entry is accepted or not is at the discretion of the Race Director. ENTRY OPENING DATEĮntries will open for the 2023 GNW Ultras at 6:00pm on Friday, 24 March 2023. Note: Price does not include credit card fees or the registration agency booking fee. There are some sections, particularly in denser forest, gorges and rocky plateaus, where the Course can be very hard to follow, and the greatest care needs to be exercised. Runners will need to be very watchful for the Course markings and be careful navigators to avoid missing turns or getting lost. However, the green colour of the marker posts sometimes makes them difficult to see. The Great North Walk hiking trail is marked for all of its length, and especially at intersections and points of interest. There will be some marshals directing Runners at intersections on the Course, but not for every intersection. The Course will be marked at all intersections and on sections that are not part of the Great North Walk.

All Runners should familiarise themselves with these locations. See Checkpoint Sketch Maps that indicate the locations of the Check-In and Check-Out points as well as the location of Food & Drink and Medical support.
