Course and race day information

Both the 5 km and 10 km use a single-loop course through the private grounds of Aske Hall. The route follows pasture fields, farm tracks and woodland. The organiser describes the course as fairly flat by their standards but notes it may be muddy and uneven in places. Trail shoes are recommended; there is no mandatory kit.

The course will be marked with orange barrier tape, pin flags and coloured arrow signs. Critical turns and road crossings will be manned by marshals. The organiser advises carrying a copy of the route map in case markings are moved or removed. There is one water station on the 10 km at the start of the second lap; 5 km runners can access water at the finish. Toilets will be available at Race HQ. Parking is available by the stable block with additional parking in a field on the estate. Poles are banned for the event. Passing etiquette includes announcing "on your left" and giving uphill runners right of way. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
