The return follows Arkle Beck and passes through the Heggs-Castle renaturing area. The route is fully waymarked using orange barrier tape, pin flags and coloured arrow signs; critical turns and road crossings will be manned by marshals, and participants are advised to carry a copy of the route map. GPX and PDF route files are available for download.
Mandatory kit includes taped-seam waterproof jacket and trousers, a hat or buff, gloves, and an emergency blanket or bivvy bag; spot checks will be performed and non-compliance may lead to disqualification. Parking is provided in a nearby field (what3words: ///cloud.gains.prominent) which may be muddy. Post-race refreshments and cakes are provided by a local charity, with additional local cafes and shops close to the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
