The course is predominantly on grass and includes steep slopes and sections through woodland. The start and finish are located on a grass field in the centre of the park. Participants will climb, crawl and slide around a sequence of obstacles on the route.

Waves start every 15 minutes to manage flow on the course. Entry is for people aged 13 years and older; separate Pretty Muddy Kids events are offered for younger children.
