Course and organisation
The route starts through the village and quickly moves onto tracks and fields, including a water splash and early climbing. The course ascends to Abney Moor and then descends over rough ground to a small reservoir before climbing again to the moor high point. Runners descend to a short road section, pass through Bretton Clough with wet-foot sections and uneven ground, then climb toward Abney Grange. The final section crosses fields, drops through woods and finishes back at the school. Much of the route crosses private land and is used only for the race. Community volunteers organise the event and provide refreshments, including flapjacks at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
