Entry is capped at 400 places; the event is full on the main entry page and has a waiting list.
Course and logistics
The course is generally ascending for the first half and then runs downhill to the finish. Sturdy trainers or trail shoes are recommended. Every finisher receives a T-shirt. Prizes are awarded for age-category winners and there are spot prizes, including seasonal food prizes; consolation prizes are noted for the last finishers. Numbers are collected on the day and there are no entries on the day.
