The longer route covers all of the Malvern Hills on tracks and paths with approximately 5,000 ft of ascent and includes four checkpoints. The shorter route reaches Black Hill and includes two checkpoints. Both routes pass through Cradley, Mathon, Colwall and Evendine. The longer route also goes via Oyster Hill, Ledbury and Bromsberrow and uses the main ridge from British Camp; the routes follow a clockwise direction with a common first half.
Checkpoints provide a variety of snacks and drinks. A hot meal and pudding are served at the end; participants must bring their own mug as none will be provided at checkpoints or the finish. Certificates and badges are presented to all who return to the event headquarters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
