Individual Entry: 
Walk the 50km as an individual at your own pace.

Team Entry: 
Walk the 50km as a team, made up of people with a maximum of 6.  Bear in mind that teams MUST stick together throughout the event, so if you are at different fitness levels or speed, you need to take this into consideration.

Walk the 50km as a relay, a relay team requires a minimum of 2 (and max of 10) participants. Each member must walk a minimum of 30km during the 50km. Your teams will need to have someone walking at all times over the 50km but each individual does not need to complete the 30km in one continuous go.
