Course and facilities

The route is off road and follows undulating bridle paths and woodland tracks through the Norfolk countryside.

There are a number of optional obstacles on the route. The course crosses the West Acre fords just before the finish; a narrow walkway is provided and runners who plan to cross the fords are advised to have spare trainers and socks available at the finish. A water point is located at the 5km mark.

Portable toilets are available at Event HQ and at the start/finish. Tea, coffee, squash and a selection of cakes will be available at the finish.
