Course details and logistics
Feed and drink stations are placed around every three miles. The event operates a cup-less approach, so runners are asked to use a reusable cup or bottle. GPX files are available for the routes; most of the course is off road and not every corner or junction will be marshalled.
There is no car parking at the registration/start/finish; on-road parking around Bingley and town centre parking are available. Bingley train station is about 1.5 miles from the registration/start/finish. Large over-ear headphones are banned; bone-conducting or one-in-one-out earphones are permitted. If a runner needs to withdraw, they should inform the nearest marshal. Transfers and deferrals can be handled online. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
