We welcome teams on the event! By creating a team, it also helps us assign you to similar start waves and camping zones (if applicable).
Teams of friends: As we need all medical and dietary info from each participant we need each individual to register themselves. There will be a section on the registration form that allows you enter your team name, so we can link you with your other team mates.
Corporate teams: If you are interested in entering a corporate team, please visit out Corporate Team page for more information. We can invoice your company for the places so the individuals don’t have to pay on registration when signing up. We will also let you know how we can support your pre-event experience on elements such as kit design and training days.
Whether it’s for team building, investing in your team’s mental and physical health or raising money for your chosen charity, Dulux London Revolution is the perfect corporate event, accommodating all ages, experience and fitness levels.

This is dependent on how much exercise you do currently. We provide you with comprehensive training plans for all distances for both running and walking,
You will also be provided with additional training advice to ensure you are in the best possible shape. Other than that we recommend regular, consistent training – give yourself enough weeks to train but don’t overdo it!
There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing. There is nowhere this rings truer than England so you need to be prepared for anything from hot sun to torrential rain.
You can view the full kit list on the Participant Information Platform.
Our main aim is for everyone to enjoy and complete the Event safely. To do this, we understand that participants might want to ride a variety of bikes. If you have a specific bike that you would like to ride which is not listed below, please contact us so we can discuss your options and make sure we can support you.
We recommend riding a road, hybrid or cyclocross bike. Please only bring one bike with you as we do not have the space to accommodate two.

There will be mechanical support at the start of each day, out on the road, at the pit stops and at the Basecamp.
The mechanical teams will have a wide range of spares to ensure everyone has the best chance of finishing the route.

You are expected to be able to repair your own punctures.

SIGNAGE
The route will be marked with arrows (white on a red background)
The route maps are available to view on the Participant Information Platform. Always follow the event signage in case there are any last-minute changes to the route.
NAVIGATIONAL DEVICES
Our route distances are produced by a navigational expert using an electronic mapping system. This is as accurate as possible but discrepancies can occur between the use of different GPS running computers, the position on the route and atmospheric conditions. This in turn may lead to potential minor differences in distance when out on the route.
No. You must still cycle sensibly and safely and obey the Highway Code at all time.
Times will be taken from your timing chip at the Start, Basecamp and Finish and will be published online after the event by Results Base. A link to the results page can be found on the Participant Information Platform.
Pit stops are at regular intervals and will give you a chance to refresh and recharge for the next stage, and check in with the medics or mechanics if you need to. We recommend a quick turnaround of a maximum of 20 mins to get back on the route as quickly as possible.
Please note: we do not publish the exact locations of pit stops due to very limited space and private access. In order to gain the necessary permissions to run the event, friends and family will NOT be permitted at pit stops
The route is open from:
The ULTRA: Saturday 24th September, 6:00am – 9.00pm

There will be a broom wagon that will follow the route behind the last participant.
In partnership with Open Tracking, you can now hire a GPS tracker for the duration of the event
Your tracker will provide accurate location data, available online for your friends and family to view, so they can see how well you’re progressing along the route. This is NOT linked to your event timing, but it does mean your supporters can see more accurately where you are throughout the event and how close you are to the finish line!
Visit Open Tracking to book now.
We take your health and safety very seriously.
EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBERS
You will be provided with emergency contact numbers for the event weekend which will go through to our central Event Control team.

In the case of a serious medical emergency we will arrange evacuation for any participant from the course. However, if you are just having trouble completing the distance, try to get to the next pit stop where we recommend arranging your own transport to the Basecamp or the Finish.
Please note: if you aren’t able to complete the full package you signed up for, then we cannot guarantee you a medal that shows the distance you did achieve.
Secure bike racking will be provided for all riders at Basecamp. This is manned by our security team. This is not under cover and you do not need to bring a bike lock.
Your tent will be pitched ready and waiting for you when you arrive at Basecamp. You are not permitted to provide your own tent and camp on site. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping mat.

Upon arrival into Basecamp, head to our Tent Allocation team who will allocate tents to participants on a first come, first served basis.
When we issue Registration Packs, you will be allocated a colour. You will then be allocated a tent in this colour zone.
To ensure you’re in the same colour zone as your partner or friends, we would recommending creating a ‘team’. We will endeavour to ensure all team members are allocated the same colour.
You can create a team through your MyEvents Portal by clicking on ‘Create a team’.
We can’t pre-allocate tents to groups, but if you come in together we will attempt to allocate tents next to one another where feasible.
The tents are 2 man pop up tents (allocated one per person). If you are participating in a couple you can opt to put your bags in one tent and yourselves in another.
Unfortunately not, if you’re looking to use your own caravan, we’d recommend looking into our Weekender excl. camping package and staying overnight somewhere local.

If there is a charity close to your heart that isn’t yet registered as a non-partner of ours, you will need to get permission from them to part-fund your place. We have an easy 3 step process to get consent from a new charity to part-fund your entry:
1. Email the charity a link to our Non-Partner Charity Consent Form and ask them to complete it
2. Once they have completed it, your chosen charity will then confirm with you whether they can part-fund your place on the event.
3. When confirmed by the charity, after 5 working days they will then appear in the drop-down list in the Fundraising section on the Non-Partner Registration form.
To find out more information, please see the bottom of the Charity Entry page.
As soon as you have completed your charity entry you can start fundraising. For any fundraising specific questions, such as how to set up your page, please contact your chosen charity directly.
You are required to meet the minimum fundraising target individually. Unfortunately you can’t split the total within your team unless you have prior agreement with your charity.
As the charity will be tracking your fundraising, we recommend contacting your chosen charity directly to ask them about this.
We are proud to partner with Virgin Money Giving. Whether you have purchased a charity place or general place, you can set up your Virgin Money Giving page and start your fundraising today!
