Race Overview:

The Route:

The MTC JOGLE route follows the classic journey from John O’Groats to Lands End and is almost all on road. Every year we make route amendments to improve the safety of competitors and to offer a more enjoyable running experience. URL also provide each competitor with several hi-viz technical t-shirts and a hi-viz jacket. All these items are personalised with the competitors name, the year, and the race name.

It is important that competitors bring along other suitable clothing and equipment to counteract all types of weather conditions. Some of the roads can be quite busy, and it is important to realise that in isolated area's great care and consideration needs to be given during the run. It is on this basis that if URL consider any competitor not fit to continue we will remove them from the race. In addition, there is a minimum 4 mph requirement - falling below the 4 mph you will be withdrawn without debate.

Competitor numbers are limited to 12.

Time restraints:

The MTC JOGLE is incredibly demanding and few athletes will have the fitness or resolve to complete the entire 17 days. As such Ultra Running has preset cut-off times along the route, based on a minimum average of 4 mph / day. If you fall below this minimum requirement you will be advised and given a warning. If the consecutive day is also below 4 mph you will be withdrawn without debate.

Under no circumstances will a runner be allowed to continue on the course after 22:00.

The MTC JOGLE is a Cup-Free event, so please bring your own re-useable cup (available in our store).

Accommodation:

URL provides accommodation at the end of Day 1 through to the end of Day 16. It is each competitors responsibility to book their own accommodation at John O’Groats and after their finish at Land’s End.

URL has arrangements in place with Hostels, Hotels, B&B’s and Travelodges along the route, so you can be assured that after the long days run you have a bed and shower / bath facilities available. These facilities will be on a shared room basis. It is imperative that these establishments are respected and kept clean and tidy by competitors. Failure to do so could mean disqualification from the race and additional charges.

The Bling!

All finishers get:

• JOGLE Medal
• JOGLE Trophy
• Bottle of Champagne
• In addition, all finishers get to choose their own getaway from a selection of 28 different countries, through our partner Zento Ltd. Accommodation is generally 4 or 5 star. Flights and room taxes not included. Vacation details can be viewed Vacation Terms 2024

Check-point food:

Rember - The MTC JOGLE is a cup-free race, so you need to bring your own reuseable cup.

We operate a flexible check-point strategy on the MTC JOGLE.

It is important that we gain an early understanding of the group of entrants each year. From Day 1 we look to offer check-points at 8 mile intervals. Generally though this gets extended in distance by the request of runners. That said, if just one runner needs extra support, we will be there for them.

Example CP food items (which may change) are:

Malt loaf, cake, jam, peanut butter, cheese or marmite sandwiches, sweets, squash, cola and water.

After the Day 1, we soon find out the likes and dislikes of competitors, and where possible we will try to source special requests by competitors, although this may take a day or two depending on our location and the need to support the race.

We will ask you to fill in our dietary needs form to note your food preferences and highlight and allergies that you may have. You will be burning a significant number of calories so it is important we provide food which is suitable for you. If you do have a special dietary requirement we may ask you to provide supplementary food items to accommodate this.

Hi my name is Heidi.

I live in Torbay, Devon with my husband and children. I am a qualified nurse and work full time, but in my spare time I love to walk my dogs and love to run. I started running 14 years ago when I was challenged by a friend to run a half marathon and totally shocked myself as I completed it in 1 hour and 36 minutes! So I carried on running.

I have chosen to take on the challenge of JOGLE to accomplish a desire to conquer this amazing event, as well as to enable me to raise as much money as possible for a charity that is in need of support: Rowcroft Hospice.

2023 has been a devastating year for our lovely family with the loss of my Brother in Law, Tim Chant and just 16 days later my Dad, Mike Steer. Both had been diagnosed with cancer and had bravely endured treatments, and fought so hard, but both were given a terminal diagnosis. We were able to provide End of Life care in their own homes with the support of Rowcroft Hospice and the hospice at home teams, for that we were truly grateful. The hospice team were amazing and helped our family during this really difficult time.

The JOGLE route will be an amazing experience for me as many of the places on the route I have stayed or visited with my family on walking holidays. This will be my encouragement and inspiration to keep running, as well as my determination that I have, will hopefully help to allow me to complete this from start to finish!

I am hoping to raise as much money as possible for Rowcroft Hospice to help other families in the future. If you would like to support me please click HERE.

Hi! I’m Ngaire Guzzetti- despite how the name looks am a British extremely (below!) amateur athlete, having participated in a variety of triathlons however only one marathon and one half previously.

I have a milestone birthday approaching, and crossing the finishing line at the London Marathon felt quite anti-climatic (so many people being ushered through!) thus I wanted to attempt something really special, whilst raising money for a good cause- and so the idea of joining the JOGLE 24 team was born!

When I’m not training, I work as a Procurement Consultant and am a mum to two wonderful humans, Matilda (6) and Melody (4). They’re the best cheerleaders and can usually be spotted holding extremely colourful signs (what little person isn’t obsessed with rainbows?!).

I’m fortunate enough to be raising money for a charity incredibly important to me, having a close family member affected by spinal injury- please do read more about the fantastic charity, Spinal Research, on my fundraising page HERE.

Whilst nervous, I’m really looking forward to joining Team JOGLE 24- they are an inspirational bunch and I’m honoured to be a part of such an exciting adventure.

Ngaire is also raising money for Spinal Research and her sponsor page link will be added shortly.

Hi, I'm Alex,

I have been a sports lover all my life and running has always been my number one from starting at track to now ultra running. I’m always looking for the next challenge and adventure to push myself physically as well as mental.

I see the jogle as the ultimate challenge and an amazing opportunity to achieve something well known in the running community as well as explore a lot of Britain a long the way. Im looking forward to running the length of the country with like minded people helping each other to get to lands end.

I'm also raising money for the PAM Foundation. PAM Foundation has been established to improve the well-being of expectant and new parents by addressing pre- and post-partum mental health illnesses. This is being done through building awareness, education, and supporting research and care associated with these issues.

To donate, you can find my sponsor page HERE.

This will be my second attempt at the MTC JOGLE after withdrawing through injury on day 10 in 2024.

I absolutely loved every moment of the nine full days that I completed then, building great friendships with fellow runners, and taking in the stunning scenery of Scotland and northern England.

Two days, in particular, were highlights for me: day 4, through the snowcapped Cairngorms to Pitlochry; and day 8, up and over the iconic Shap Fell, in the Lake District, to Kendal and beyond.

My determination to finish the job this time and to experience more of the second half of the route, is very strong.  I will be doing everything possible to ensure my body is strong enough to take me all the way to that famous signpost in Land’s End.

I look forward to sharing the journey with fellow repeaters, Paul and Heidi, and several others who will be tackling this adventure for the first time.

In the meantime, I have plenty of races to look forward to, including the Thames Path 100, the North Downs Way 100 and the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 24-hour track race at Battersea Park.

Hi I’m James Wynn,

I’ve always enjoyed being active and have tried multiple sports throughout the years but am relatively new to running in general. In February 2023 my local CrossFit gym started a weekly run club, and I quickly fell in love with it.

I have since completed the Sheffield half marathon, the Rasselbock Run and the Asics Ultra X England multi day event.

I have a few Ultra races lined up for 2024 which will serve as great training ahead of the big one next year. I also look forward to pushing my limits with a great bunch of people.

I will be raising money for charity. Details soon to follow.

Hi, I'm James Copping, from Sheffield.

I've always been active, starting with rugby at age 5 and later transitioning to CrossFit training before opening my own gym aged 22.

Alongside competing at an elite level in CrossFit, I completed Ironman Wales in 2023 while achieving a 620kg powerlifting competition total in the same year.

Upcoming challenges include Jogle, Patagonman, the London Marathon, and the Pennine Barrier Ultra. I'm passionate about training both indoors and outdoors and can't wait for the adventures ahead!

I will running on behalf of CrossFit Kelham and CrossFit Braze and will be raising money for charity. Details soon to follow
