The main recorded course is 1.70 miles (2.70 km) with approximately 800 feet (240 metres) of climb. The route follows bracken paths and finishes at a rocky summit outcrop; the description notes a deceptively unrelenting climb. There are separate senior and junior routes and the race counts as a BOFRA Championship counter.

Age categories listed for the event are under 9, under 12, under 14, under 17 and seniors. A race map and race profile are not available on the event page. Results, race reports and photos are kept for many previous years, with archived material listed back to 1989 and more recent reports through 2025.

Additional event information is maintained alongside the Ambleside Sports show details and seasonal weather forecast references for Ambleside.
