Course and practical information
The marathon uses the Kirtling Route, an officially measured, fully on-road course described as mildly undulating. The half marathon is one loop on the Windmill Route. The 5k and 10k use a turnaround point for the shorter distances. Aid stations with drinks and nibbles are provided approximately every 10 km. Parking is included in the entry price. The event is cupless, so participants need to bring their own bottles or cups for refilling. All routes are on quiet roads but traffic can be present; participants are advised to be visible when near the road. Selecting the marathon distance can support applications for a marathon GFA place.
