No special vehicle modifications are required to enter, any sensibly equipped 4x4 should be able to complete the event.[citation needed] Each team has a minimum sponsorship to raise all of which goes to Macmillan. All event, costs are covered out of the entry fee except fuel which competitors pay for as they go.[citation needed]
Competitors only know where they are starting from, the route being kept secret till roadbooks are handed out along the way. It generally ends in Cheshire where there is a prize-giving dinner and accommodation for the night at a hotel.
