YES! Simply raise £200 for our chosen charity, Claire House Childrens Hospice and we will honour you a FREE Entry into ANY Viper369 Category! If you choose this option, please email us at info@DSViper-Events.com and Claire House will send you a fundraising pack!
The route changes every 3 hours!
Yes! We have 3 different routes. They are all equally challenging but this now adds variety for our Viper runners pushing on to the 6.0 and 9.0!
9hour Solos
Another request we talked about and decided, Why not! You are now able to enter the 9.0 as a solo runner! You will NOT be required to complete the minimum laps per stage. It is simply about how many laps of the Viper 9.0 can you do. 9.0 solos may leave the course at any point on a completed lap to rest and refuel.
Cobras Ascent
Yes! The Cobras Ascent Time Trial (CATT) will make an appearance again in 2016 BUT only during the first 3 hours. The fastest male and female through the CATT will win some very cool prizes!!!
Category Laps
Every team / solo for each category that completes the most laps over all will also win some cool stuff! Most overall laps for the 9.0 in 2015 was 110km!
New Bling
One thing we were commented on a lot was the awesome bling our Viper Runners earned! We won't dissapoint in 2016 either!
Tent Pitch
Teams/runners are permitted to pitch a tent during the event
NEW FOR 2016
After the amazing success of our first Viper 369 in 2015 we have brain stormed and listened to all your valuable feedback and made some changes we think you will love!
TEAMS MUST HAVE ONE RUNNER RUNNING AT ALL TIMES UNTIL MINIMUM LAPS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
ROUTE
There are 3 routes for the 2016 Viper 369 that change at every 3 hour stage. Each 5km(ish) route will take you over varied terrain, sandy track, grassy track, stony trail, soily trail and over varying degrees of ascent and descent! We promise the Viper Routes are NOT to be underestimated!
The route will be well marked and well marshalled throughout the 9 hours.
It is important to listen in to all event marshals throughout.
ARRIVAL
The gun goes at 0830 hrs (8:30am). Please make sure you are at the start line ready to go 15 minutes before the Gun to listen to the race brief from Team Viper.
MUSIC
You may run with music such as an IPOD but we ask that you only wear one ear phone so you can be aware of any marshals who may need to speak to you on the route.
FOOTWEAR
Team Viper recommend all runners to wear trail/fell trainers (not brand new!), to handle the terrain and look after your feet/ankles over the terrain. No spikes.
MEDICAL FACILITIES
There will be a first aid point near the admin area / start line. The course is also marshalled and all marshalls will have communications to the medical facilities.
CHIP TIME & RACE NUMBERS
Each team/runner will have an individual chip issued to them to give you your individual lap times and amount of laps done within your team.
Your race number must be visible and secure on your running vest/top at all times.
Your racepack (chip and number) will be available to collect on race day at the admin tent (bring pins).
CHANGING / TOILET FACILITIES & BAG DROP
There will be an event changing area tent located near the admin tent. We do not advise you to leave any valuables within the changing tent.
Please bring warm clothes and layers to put on between your laps and comfortable clothing for your return journey. There are no wash or shower facilities at Delamere Forest.
There will be a designated "manned" facility where you may drop your personal belongings for a small fee of £1 per bag. Please do not lose your ticket when you come to collect.
There will be mobile toilet facilities available near the start line for your pre run trots!
HYDRATION, FOOD & DRINK
