Course
The route crosses private land and permission is granted only for the morning of the race; the organisers ask that the route not be used outside the event. The first kilometre is mostly downhill through the village and along a track, then runners leave the track and pass through a water splash into fields. The course climbs to the Abney Moor trig point on Durham Edge, crosses Abney Moor, and descends over rough ground to a small reservoir before rising to the moor high point. The route includes a fast descent to a road, a short tarmac section, a drop into Bretton Clough with wet ground, and a climb toward Abney Grange. The finish is back at the school after a woodland section; there is a note to watch for slippery gravel on steep tarmac at the woodland turn. Flapjacks are provided at the finish.
