Course

The course consists of laps on two different loops: one is 3.28 miles and the other is 4.37 miles. Distances are achieved by completing a set number of laps; for example, a 10k is two laps of a 5k loop. The route is mainly on a tarmac path along an old railway line, with a small section on a field at the start and finish of each lap. It is an out-and-back course that requires no navigation.

At the end of each lap, there is a table with water, squash, fizzy drinks, and a variety of food. Toilets are located at the pavilion on the playing field. Parking is available at the Skellingthorpe Community Centre car park.
