The course follows public rights of way and uses the existing Cotswold Way waymarkers (acorn). Organisers may add occasional markings near checkpoints or where the route has more than one option. Official diversions may alter the overall distance from that listed in pre-race information. There are no road closures on the route, so participants and supporters must respect road regulations on any non-trail sections.
