The route begins at Raines Hall in the village of Sedgwick, near Kendal, and concludes at the Smiths Arms in Lea Town.

The terrain offers views of Morecambe Bay to one side and inland hills and dales to the other. The path passes through several towns and villages, including Burton in Kendal, Tewitfield, Carnforth, Lancaster, Galgate, Forton, and Garstang. The course is marked and includes four checkpoints to assist runners during the journey.
Participants can choose between two entry formats:

The third leg is a 13-mile section from Galgate to Guys Thatched Hamlet, and the final leg covers the remaining 9 miles to the finish line.
