Course Details

The course consists of laps on a flat, tarmac path, mainly following an old railway line. A small section at the start and finish of each lap is on a field. The route is an out-and-back format with no navigation required. The lap distance is 3.28 miles.

  • A marathon is 8 laps.
  • An ultra marathon is 9 or more laps.
