The routes use local footpaths, bridleways and river paths and include on- and off-road sections. The 5 km route goes out toward Casterton golf club and returns along the river, and includes the '99' steps. U13s may run free with an adult (maximum two U13s per adult). The 10 km route follows footpaths and bridleways around Casterton and the Bullpot area, returning via Devil's Bridge and the river path to the '99' steps; it is recommended that participants can self-navigate. The 20 km route tours Brownthwaite Pike (Bullpot), includes a steep fell-road section to a trig point and cairn with views over the Lune Valley and the Lake District on clear days, then returns via Devil's Bridge and the river path; this route requires the ability to self-navigate.
