Climbs on the course provide wide views of the Yorkshire Dales. The start and finish are at the Riverside car park field in Burnsall Village; additional parking is available in a small car park near the village green and some roadside parking.

The event includes a fully way marked course, two drinks stations offering water, juice, fruit and sweets, tea and coffee at the finish, and a post-race meal such as pasta, pie and peas, or soup. Participants receive a bottle of beer and Due North merchandise. Toilet blocks with male and female facilities are located at the top of the car park and in the smaller car park across the bridge. Prize giving will occur after all category winners have finished.
