The event registration & briefing will take place on Fri 22 August 2008 in Aros Hall, Tobermory.

Registration will open at 2pm and close at 10pm. Buses will transport everyone from the ferry terminal in Craignure to the Aros Hall in Tobermory for Registration.

The event will be held on Saturday 23 August 2008.  The event will start at 7am on Tobermory High Street. 

The Mull Grand Traverse is an event for people of all abilities.

Because the event has four finishes, Bronze, Silver and Gold and Platinum, people of varying experience in the outdoors can challenge themselves:

• The Bronze Route which finishes at the Aros checkpoint involves a 39km cycle.
• The Silver Route which finishes at the Glen More checkpoint involves the entire Bronze Route plus an extra 21km hike.
• The Gold Route which finishes at the Lochbuie checkpoint involves the entire Silver route plus an extra 11km hike.
• The Platinum Route which finishes at Pennyghael involves the entire Gold Route plus an extra 15km hike.

A progressive training program prior to the event will be important. This should include both walking/running and cycling. 

For more information see Training and Preparation.

The following refreshments will be available throughout the day:

• Breakfast
  Rolls at the Aros Hall, Tobermory.
• Waterstops
  There will be a number of waterstops spread along the route where Water, Energy Drinks, Fruit and Cakes will be available.
• Checkpoints
  We have several checkpoints throughout the route where we will provide hot food & drinks, energy drinks, water, fruit and cakes.
• The Feast
  There will be a magnificent feast laid on for you at the end of the day.  There will also be a bar open to help you celebrate your success at the party in the evening.

The course will be tough but all those who choose to take the test will be rewarded with awesome views, a fantastic atmosphere and a marvellous weekend on the enchanted Isle of Mull.
