Course and logistics

The route starts from the Lyme Hall area, follows the Gritstone Trail south, continues up and along Kerridge Ridge past the White Nancy landmark, goes on to Bollington, then follows the Macclesfield Canal back toward Lyme. The course is fully marked and marshalled and features two well stocked aid stations and electronic timing. A bespoke finishers medal is provided; runners may opt to have a tree planted instead of receiving a medal through the Trees Not Tees scheme. Race bibs are collected from the BigFeat registration tent on the morning of the event and a bag drop tent is available at the start area. Hydration vests and handheld soft flasks are permitted. Organisers advise carrying appropriate clothing for changeable conditions and recommend downloading the GPX file of the route. On-course photographers will operate during the event.
