The route starts at Okehampton, passes through Postbridge and finishes at Ivybridge Community College. The 30 km option starts at Postbridge and follows the remainder of the 50 km route. The course is approximately 50 km (30 miles) and is almost entirely off road, traversing wild areas of open moor.

Checkpoints with refreshments will be at Postbridge and Combestone Tor. Qualified Mountain Leaders act as mobile marshals, assist with navigation and provide First Aid cover in remote areas.
