Course and route
The route is a GPS-measured, multi-terrain trail that mixes footpaths, fields, and trails and is described as undulating with several steep hills. The course includes kissing and latch gates and muddy sections. Because of the multi-terrain nature the route is not certified. The route will be marked with arrows, cones, and marshals, and the circuit may include occasional walkers or dog walkers.

The nearest mainline station is Benfleet, about a 2.5 mile walk from the race headquarters; a taxi may be needed.
