Course and race logistics

The course is a hilly, mostly single-track route with a very steep first ascent, ridge running and several technical descents, including sections through mining hushes with loose rocks. Surfaces include grassy trods and hard-packed footpaths. The organiser recommends trail or fell shoes for grip. The route will be waymarked with orange barrier tape, orange pin flags and coloured arrow signs; marshals will staff critical turns and road crossings.

Aid stations are stocked with water, Active Root sports drink, sweet and savoury food, and a small supply of electrolyte tablets; vegan and gluten-free options are available. The event does not provide disposable plastic cups at aid stations, so runners must carry a cup, soft flask or similar. Parking is provided in a nearby working field that may be muddy.

Mandatory kit includes taped-seam waterproof jacket and trousers, hat or buff, gloves, an emergency blanket or bivvy bag, a cup or soft flask, and a fully charged mobile phone. Organisers may perform kit checks and will disqualify runners who do not carry mandatory items. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
