The course includes five checkpoints at mapped grid references and uses moorland and estate tracks. The race is licensed by the FRA under UKA rules and is run as a non-GPS race; GPS devices may be used to record a route but not to aid navigation, and use of GPS for navigation to safety requires declaring as non-competitive at the finish.

Very limited parking is available near the venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
