Course and race logistics

The fully marked route uses the Chesterfield Canal towpath out to Worksop, then enters Sherwood Forest and includes a roughly 30-mile forest loop that is run twice. The course follows forest trails, minor roads and footpaths, passing Creswell Crags, the Welbeck Estate, Clumber Park and the Thoresby Estate. The route is returned on the same canal towpath to the village hall.

Aid stations are regular, supported and described as well stocked. Drop bags are allowed and will be located at Aid Station 4 at approximately 51.8 miles and 81.4 miles; the first access to these drop bags is at 51.8 miles. Pacers are permitted from around the 50-mile point to the finish, one pacer at a time. Trackers are not used; runners are checked by aid station recording. All HOBO Pace events are fully vegan.
