Format, course and facilities
Competitors set off on the hour every hour to complete a loop of 4.167 miles. To continue to the next hour a competitor must complete the loop within the hour; the bell is sounded on the hour and competitors not in the starting area before the bell are disqualified. Only the last competitor to finish a loop alone is declared the champion; all other competitors are recorded as DNF.
The course is not flat and has elevation gain on each loop. Surfaces include canal towpath, farmland trail, woodland trail and tarmac; a night route avoids crossing the canal and uses a tarmac canal towpath. The event provides hot and cold drinks, fruit, sweets, aid station facilities, camping, toilets, first aid cover, marshals, chip timing and a Yorkshire goodie bag for participants. Limited campervan space must be pre-arranged. Participants are required to wear appropriate clothing and carry lighting for night running.
