The event has a six hour cut off; a four hour cut off may apply to some start options.

The course is a trail event that includes some tarmac paths and grassland. There is a water aid station located at the lap point. Parking is included and secure on site, with an attendant to direct vehicles and to assist with locating the start and collecting race numbers. A baggage area is provided.
