The course start and finish are on grass. The route is mainly on tarmacked paths with some sections on grass.

Wave starts are staggered every 15 minutes and groups should register for the same wave. Participants must be aged 13 or older; separate Pretty Muddy Kids events are available for children aged 12 and under.
