All Official UTS Recce Days cover key sections of each of the 2024 race routes – the routes have been chosen with a focus on technical ascents and descents, remote terrain where navigation can be challenging and areas of the route that will likely be undertaken in the dark. From experience, these are areas where runners can lose pace and time.
By covering these sections on a recce it will help to build strength and resilience over exciting and challenging terrain and give you extra confidence on race day. Through focusing on a range of ‘mountain skills’ and race strategies, Official UTS Recce Days by RAW Adventures can help increase your enjoyment and chances of completion.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for today's recce. I’m totally newbie in terms of mountain running, being older and slower, I knew it was going to be a challenge. I felt 100% looked after in what was very tough conditions, I thought the changes you made to the route worked brilliantly. You were totally amazing, kind, supportive and gave me so much confidence. What an awesome company and people you have!
