Courses and format

There are two marked, chip-timed route options. The courses follow a mix of forest roads and trails and have no cut-offs.

  • 8K (5 mile) loop with 360 m ascent, reaches the summit of Seat How.
  • 5K (3 mile) route with 240 m ascent, joins the second half of the longer course.

Each athlete starts individually so dogs have space at the start. On the summit route, some sections are narrow and steep, so only one dog per runner is allowed and dogs must run on a suitable harness. Harnesses are available to borrow from Non Stop Dog Wear. Runners may compete without dogs. GPX files are available for download. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
