Q1: When is this Virtual event going to take place?
A: During the Spring Bank Holiday May 29 - 31 2021.

A: For simplicity, we are only holding the event on the Spring Bank holiday weekend. The added advantage for those starting is longer day light hours and hopefully more favourable weather.

Q3: Are there any constraints on where my chosen route has to be?
A: National, Devolved Government and local area constraints plus other legislation and guidelines in force take precedence and MUST be adhered to throughout. The onus is on the individual entrant to make themselves aware of these. The route is of your choice and indeed making. Some may be lucky and live near existing hundred routes that might be used or indeed other Long distance paths. You can go from your front door if you wish. There is no minimum ascent requirement.

A: Individuals can start anytime they choose after midnight on Friday 28th May. For example, 0001 hrs local time Saturday 29th May. All must finish by 2359 hrs local time on Monday 31st May. This gives overseas members the opportunity to take part also.

A: We will provide a FULL refund to all entrants should the event be cancelled OR if individuals are prevented thru last minute local restrictions on movement, exercise etc.

Q12: How do we prove our distance completed?

A: Certificates will be awarded to all starters for their total distance completed. Additionally, those completing at least one hundred miles will receive an event badge. Processing all the results by volunteers will be carried out as quickly as possible. You may have to wait a few months for your appropriate award to be sent due to sheer volume involved. However, your patience and understanding is appreciated.

Q16: Will completion over 100 miles get recognition and be recorded on the official LDWA Hundred register?
