Course and logistics
The route runs through woodland, meadow and grass fields with exposed tree roots, uneven surfaces and several gates to navigate. The terrain can be muddy or firm depending on recent weather; the course is described as undulating but not hilly. Water and electrolyte will be available on course in biodegradable cups; entrants may bring a foldable or collapsible cup but it is not required. There is a toilet block next to the event headquarters. Parking on site costs up to £3 for 1-2 hours. Coombe Abbey Park is on the outskirts of Coventry, about 6 minutes from Junction 2 of the M6; the closest train station is Coventry. Dogs are not permitted due to likely warm conditions. The effective cut-off is two hours, based on medic coverage and daylight considerations.
Optional arrangements noted by the organiser include a charity fundraising option for Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity and an alternative to a medal via a tree-planting token program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
