The event takes place at Forcett Park, adjacent to Forcett Hall in Forcett, North Yorkshire. The estate boundary follows ancient Iron Age fortifications linked to neighbouring Stanwick Camp. The two‑lap course passes a wall used for musket training in the civil war and a Georgian grotto.

The route is a 5 km loop with an option to complete two loops for a 10 km distance.

• 5 km loop
• 10 km two‑lap option

Runners follow mainly gentle trails across pasture fields, farm tracks and through 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. Poles are banned for this event unless an accommodation is arranged with the organiser.

Parking is available on site with signs and marshals to direct vehicles. Registration is located close to the parking field and race start. The course will be marked with orange barrier tape, pin flags and coloured arrow signs; marshals will staff critical turns and road crossings. Because markings can be moved or stolen, participants are advised to carry a copy of the route map.

There will be one water station for 10 km runners at the start of the second lap and water for 5 km runners at the finish. Toilets will be available at Race HQ. Entry is limited to 200 runners and age minimums apply: 16+ for 10 km and 13+ for 5 km. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
