Course and facilities

The route is a lapped course with one lap being 6.7 miles. The surface is a mixture of trail, road, grass and woodland. The course is described as undulating and includes stepping stones; a marshal will be present at the stepping stones. Feed stations are normally provided about every three miles and the event normally operates a cup-less policy, so runners are asked to bring a reusable cup or bottle. There may be unmarshalled road crossings and marshals are positioned along the route.

Bibs are issued on the day at registration. Parking is in the pub field and is charged at £5 to the pub; car sharing is suggested. The races are licensed by the Trail Running Association. The organiser donates 50p per runner to English Heritage. All finishers receive a bespoke medal, cake and a chip butty served in the pub, and a drink. Registration opens from 7.30am.
