Course and rules

The event uses the south-side, undulating route at Whinlatter. The surface is a mix of forest roads and trails. Individual starts will be used so dogs have space at the start. Two dogs are allowed per runner on this route. Runners may also compete without dogs.

Distances offered:

  • 10k route with 380 m of ascent
  • 5K route with 200 m of ascent

The shorter option splits from the longer route and is recommended for those seeking an easier route. The route is described as one of the less technical options in the series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
