The event is held on both Saturday and Sunday, allowing participants to race on one day or both days. Detailed route maps and downloadable GPX files are provided for navigation. The organiser notes the event is popular and often sells out in advance.

Race HQ is located at Ashbourne Leisure Centre, Clifton Road, DE6 1DR, approximately a ten minute walk from the start area at Mappleton Road, Ashbourne, DE6 2AA. Parking is available in several pay and display car parks in the town, all within walking distance of Race HQ. Event information is sent to registered entrants prior to race day.
