Course and Route

The route is fixed and well-marshalled. It traverses varied terrain including road, track, and footpath through woodland, fields, and open moorland. The event starts and finishes outside the Totley AC pavilion, located at the top of the field behind the Cricket Inn on Penny Lane in Sheffield (postcode S17 3AZ). Participants must remain on the designated paths and pass all checkpoints in numerical sequence.

All runners must abide by the FRA Requirements for Runners. A kit list based on FRA Best Practice is specified, including waterproof whole body cover, hat, gloves, map, compass, whistle, and emergency food. The mandatory kit required on race day is at the discretion of the race organizer, dependent on weather conditions. Mandatory kit inspections will be performed, and runners without the required kit will not be allowed to start. Dogs are not permitted on the course.
