The route continues onto woodland paths featuring autumn colours before returning to the city centre.

Race headquarters are located next to the Deiniol Shopping Centre where race numbers and timing chips are collected. There is no official event parking; participants must use pay-and-display parking in and around the town centre (sat nav postcode LL57 1NW). Toilets are available near the start/finish at the Bangor bus station, and a city-centre swimming pool offers showers (charges apply). Drink stations are provided approximately every 3 miles and at the finish; participants may bring their own water bottles if they require extra fluids.
First aid is provided by a professional medical team with stations on course and at the start/finish. Runners who retire should inform the nearest marshal and return their timing chip to race HQ. All finishers receive a technical T-shirt and a bespoke medal. Prizes are awarded for the first three male and female finishers overall and for first place in each age category.
Some roads will be closed but not all; runners should follow marshal instructions and keep left. Headphones are not permitted except bone-conducting types. Littering outside of water stations or without marshal permission can lead to disqualification. Runners are asked to maintain a pace consistent with event cut-off guidance and to follow course signage. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
