Race format, course and facilities

Competitors run a repeating loop of 4.167 miles. Runners set off on the hour every hour and must complete the loop within the hour to start the next one; failure to do so results in a DNF. The event continues until one competitor completes a loop alone and is declared the champion.

The course includes canal towpath, farmland trail, woodland trail and tarmac sections and has some elevation gain on each loop. A night route avoids crossing the canal in the dark and uses a tarmac towpath. Facilities at the venue include camping, toilets, first aid cover, hot and cold drinks, fruit and sweets, waymarking and marshals. Participants receive a Yorkshire goodie bag and may order event apparel for collection. Camping and parking are available from the day before; limited campervan spaces must be pre-arranged.
