NOTE for those doing in 1 go
- The route is plotted with MacRitchie Reservoir as the start & finish, however, participants can opt to start at any point along the above predetermined route & in any direction, but must follow the route & must not skip any section.  However, if there is/are any construction/road work/route closures along any part of the route, participants are to use the alternative route to skirt around the closed section before continuing on the predetermined route. Usually, there are signs/maps posted up at the closed sections showing the alternative path to skirt around the obstruction/road work/route closure.  

- Participants can make a detour to other locations outside of the route (for example: go to a place to rest/shower, get food, etc) but must return to the same point which they departed from the predetermined route & resume from there.

- Please ensure you are able to view the route map on your device BEFORE you start.  Test out the navigation features on your watch/phone/etc.

- Participants based overseas must plot your own 200 miles route & send it to Ben for review BEFORE you start your activity.  Avoid plotting routes with loop repeats/overlapping sections.  

TRACKING OF ACTIVITIES








*Strava (https://www.strava.com/) will be used as the primary means of verification of participants' activities.

- For those who do not have a Strava account, this is a free-to-join app which you can use it to record your activities OR sync with your activity tracking devices such as Garmin, Coros, Suunto, etc.

Click HERE to view the Guide for Beginners to Strava.

Click HERE to access the Strava Help & Support Centre.

Create a Strava account via any of the below methods:
- Desktop: https://www.strava.com/
- Google Play for Android device: Click HERE
- App Store for iPhone: Click HERE

*In the registration form, you'll need to input your Strava Athlete Name & the URL link to your Strava profile (for example, the URL link to Ben Swee's Strava account is: https://www.strava.com/athletes/15096947)
NOTE: If you are unable to locate the URL link to your Strava profile, please 'follow' Ben Swee (Click HERE) & he will 'follow' you.

*Please allow Ben Swee to 'follow' your Strava account and set your privacy settings to allow 'Followers' or 'Everyone' to view your activities so he can verify your activities.

*In an email sent by Ben containing your e-Bib number tag, it will include a link to a specially created Strava Club for this event which you need to click on to request to join. NOTE: There might be several clubs/groups created for this event & participants will be assigned by Ben to join only 1 of the groups.  Please do not request for changes to your assigned Club/Group.  

*The Leaderboard of the Strava Club/Group will only show the weekly distance you have achieved from your running activities.  So you may wish to set the Activity Type for all your walking & hiking activities to 'Run' for the period of the event. In addition, the Leaderboard will only show the activities which you have set to allow 'Everyone' to view. If you have set your privacy control to 'Private' or allowing only your 'Followers' to view, your activities will not be shown in the Leaderboard.  

*Activities will be randomly verified.  If there are any suspicious/ineligible activities (e.g. unbelievable pace/distance, manual entries, duplicate activities, no route map, indoor/sheltered, treadmill, etc), the distance from those activities will not be eligible.

NOTE: For your convenience, you do not need to manually submit your activities/screenshots of your activities to us for verification as Ben will view your activities in your Strava account.

200 Miles HALL OF INSANITY

*To qualify to be inducted into the highly coveted Hall of Insanity, participants must complete the predetermined 200 Miles route in less than 75 hours (74hr 59min 59sec) elapsed time (based on a single continuous period from the Start of the activity, until the Finish, including all types of rest/pauses such as eating/drinking/naps/restroom/charging devices/shower/etc).  For example, if you start at 7am on a Saturday, the cutoff time is 9.59am on Tuesday, which is 74hr 59min.
