Course and facilities
The route circles the Colworth Estate in North Bedfordshire on gently undulating trail and unclassified road. Some sections use woodland paths with uneven surfaces and roots, and some paths are narrow, which is the reason for a limit on entries. There is a checkpoint every lap supplying water, flat Coke and individually wrapped snacks, with additional drinks at a half-lap point. The event is cup-free, so participants should bring their own bottle, mug or hydration bladder. Facilities listed include toilets, car parking and hot drinks. Baggage storage may be provided (no liability accepted), and changing rooms, showers and hot food at the finish are subject to Covid restrictions in place at the time.
