Routes

- 10 mile
The courses mix firm trails, woodland paths, grassy sections, and a small amount of road running. The 5 mile route is canicross friendly with one controlled dog per runner. The 10 mile route is not suitable for canicross because it includes extended sections on roads. There is a 2.5-hour cut off for the 10 mile event due to road closures. Live chip timing will be provided by Timing Up North.
