There are aid stations positioned at roughly 7km, 12 to 13km and 16 to 17km; typical supplies include water, cola, Precision Fuel & Hydration gels and jelly babies. The event base at Hughenden Manor offers parking, toilet facilities and a cafe, and entry includes free parking and entry to Hughenden Manor.

Entry is priced at £32 or £30 for UKA affiliated runners. Runners must be aged 17 or older.
