The course is described as rolling rather than steep. Published route data lists elevation gain of about +248 m for the longer route and +144 m for the shorter route. Route maps and GPX files are provided by the organiser. Parking is available on hard-standing at Sparsholt College.

Event services include chip timing, bib numbers, water stations, first aid, marshals, finishers medals, finisher goodies, a drink at the finish, and a personalised certificate. The race will use clear course signage and will mark hazards and road junctions. Participants must collect their bib on arrival and are asked to bring a reusable cup or bottle for water stations.
