Course and logistics
The main race is around 10 km (6 miles) with about 340 m (1000 ft) of ascent. The route crosses private land and may only be used on the morning of the race. Much of the first kilometre is downhill through the village and along a track, then over fields and up to the Abney Moor trig point on Durham Edge. The route continues over Abney Moor, descends to a small reservoir, climbs to the moor high point, then descends to road and down into Bretton Clough, with wet sections and uneven ground. The final section includes fields, a short climb, woodland and a finish by the school. Community volunteers provide race marshals, registration, results and refreshments, including flapjacks at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
