Course and race details
The event is an off-road, single-lap 10k held on trail terrain described as undulating and hilly. The route uses footpaths, fields, and trails within the grounds of Hadleigh Castle and includes kissing and latch gates. Organisers describe extensive mud on parts of the course. The route is GPS-measured but uncertified because of its multi-terrain nature. The course will be waymarked with route arrows, cones, and marshals. An elite wave is included, followed by further wave starts in the main race. The circuit is closed for the event but may include occasional walkers or dog walkers.
Participant feedback recorded on event pages commonly mentions steep hills, muddy sections, and a bottleneck at a kissing gate near the early part of the course; marshals and course marking are frequently reported as positive. On-site parking is available with charges, and the nearest railway station is Benfleet, about a 2.5 mile walk from the race headquarters.
