Course and support
The route is just over 20 miles with 840 m ascent. It follows an anticlockwise loop across hilly farmland, woodland and rural trails in the Cordwell and Linacre Valleys. Surfaces range from runnable trails and lanes to single track and trods. Some less obvious sections will be marked and a GPX file and route notes are available on the race webpage; basic navigation skills are desirable. The event is open to runners and fast walkers who can meet a 6 hour cut off time.
There are two checkpoints on the route with sweet and savoury supplies and further refreshments for finishers at the village hall. All finishers receive a Cordwell Colossus medal. Prizes are awarded to the first male and first female runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
