The listed cost is £35 per person and tickets were shown as currently sold out. The run is led by a guide from Running Adventures and is conducted as a group, not a race.

Course and logistics

The route starts and finishes in North Malvern. The course climbs straight to Worcestershire Hill and follows the Malverns ridge, visiting the summits along the ridge, then returns via lesser known trails on the hillsides and woodland at the base of the hills. North Malvern has parking and a nearby train station. At the end of the run participants may receive an alcohol-free beer from Athletic Brewing, subject to availability. If the run is cancelled by the organiser due to COVID-19, entries are offered either a refund or transfer to a later event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
