Registration remains open until the day of the race, though entries made after a specific morning cutoff may require additional coordination at the registration desk for number assignment.

The course consists of scenic trails through established woodland areas. The event has a total capacity of 250 runners. Facilities at the race headquarters include refreshments for participants after they complete the course. Entry fees vary based on UK Athletics membership status, and the organizers provide a formal system for transferring entries to other runners through their registration platform if a participant can no longer attend.
