Format and route

The terrain is mostly hard-packed and single-track woodland trails, mostly flat with a couple of small hills where coaches will give tips on hill technique. Guides will share facts about the local forest and offer trail-running advice. The route offers opportunities to see local wildlife.

Trail shoes are recommended; road shoes are acceptable if they are all that is available. Participants are advised to carry at least 500 ml of water and any snacks they expect to need during the run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
