Course, safety and facilities
The course is described as an almost circular 10 km with two possible routes. Route A is preferred; Route B may be used if conditions require. Both routes share the same first 6.5 km. The course starts with a long steady incline of about 2 km. On Route A the route leaves the tarmac at about 6.5 km for an off-road farm track of about 1 km. Route B keeps to the road and includes an additional climb near 7.5 km. Safety rules include no dogs except guide dogs, no buggies or prams, running on the right hand side of the road, and only one ear covered by a music device. A lead car with a flashing beacon and course marshals will be present, and qualified first aiders are stationed at the hall. There is no water station on the route; runners are asked to bring their own containers and fill from the barrel outside registration. Prize giving and course record prize information are listed; finishers receive a commemorative gift and a cereal bar, and homemade soup and beverages are served in the hall after the race.
