Course and logistics

The run starts and finishes in the grounds of Lyme Hall and follows the Gritstone Trail south, up and along Kerridge Ridge past the White Nancy landmark, then on to Bollington before returning via the Macclesfield Canal. The course is described as a trail route in the Peak District; it will be fully marked and marshalled and uses electronic timing. Two well stocked aid stations are provided and a bag drop tent is available at the start area. Runners collect race bibs from the BigFeat registration tent on the morning of the event. Hydration vests and handheld soft flasks are permitted; runners are advised to carry appropriate clothing for changeable conditions and are strongly advised to download the GPX file of the route because course arrows can be tampered with. A bespoke finishers medal is provided and runners can opt to have a tree planted instead of receiving a medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
