The junior course covers the first out-and-back section and turns at the masts area.

Route is fully marked and GPS is not allowed. The published difficulty places the event in a moderate category for terrain and ascent. Mandatory kit is Level A basic, specifically a showerproof, windproof jacket. Organisers will confirm the actual kit to be carried on the day according to conditions; random kit checks may be carried out and lack of required items may lead to denied entry or disqualification.
