REGULATIONS The 2020 Londinium Pedo will be organised by the United Hospitals and University of London Motor Club on Sunday 6 th October 2019. It will start between 1.00pm and 2.00pm, and finish three hours later. Individual entrants will be notified of their exact time and place of start in the Final Instructions - which act as acknowledgement of entry - sent to all entrants in the week preceding the event. Entries will be accepted from up to 150 teams of one or two persons , subject to the organisers’ discretion (young children may accompany competing adults at their responsibility). All entries should reach the Secretary of the Event by 23 rd September with entry fee of £20.00 [per team]. Late entries will be accepted up to first 1 st October if accompanied with a late entry surcharge of £5 (total £25.00) and must include email and telephone contact details plus a UK address (for Final Instructionsday and evening telephone numbers. Entries received after that date may not be accepted . Competitors will require pencil, watch and suitable footwear. Timing will be by marshals’ watches - set to BBC time. There will be awards to winners and runners-up overall - with additional awards to other high placed teams in each class. Provisional results will be announced at a communal finish. This will be as soon as possible after the finish time of the latest starting competitor. Printed results will be sent to all entrants after the event. The organisers reserve the right to exclude competitors behaving irresponsibly or in a manner contrary to the spirit of the event (including splitting and/or use of smartphones). The event takes place entirely within the City of London, and will be of such length that it may be easily travelled by all entrants. Certain parts of the route may - with appropriate permission - traverse private property. Otherwise, all information is visible from areas to which the public have general and free access . One mark will be awarded for each clue correctly and accurately answered. Some questions may be used as tie-deciders, but will carry no extra points. Route cards for each section must be exchanged for the following one at intermediate check points at, or before, the time prescribed for each team. No team, however, will be permitted to depart from any control before this prescribed time. At each check point one-half point will be subtracted for each minute late. A separate but concurrent event the Mini-Pedo will take place. This is a subset of the overall route with fewer clues. Entry to this is strictly for families (i.e. those accompanied by children too young to contribute), the more senior (we suggest any team with a member older than 55), or those whose stamina, for medical reasons, is not up to the full event. There are no separate classes within this event. For all classes, including the Mini-Pedo, the limit of two persons per team is enforced. [This excludes children too young to contribute; however, they are the responsibility of the entrant at all times.] City roads can be very busy, consequently you are advised to cross major roads only at recognised crossings. The organisers have made every effort to devise a safe route and to recommend sensible crossing places - but can accept no responsibility for your conduct. It is a condition of entry that all competitors (i.e. entrant and, if not solo, partner) must sign an indemnity, which will be posted with the Final Instructions. This must be handed to the marshal at the designated start location before commencing the event. You may enter online here .
