Route, support and logistics
The course is entirely on roads and many roads will be closed during the race. The route is undulating with a total ascent of 289 m. Organisers advise that runners should feel confident completing the distance within four hours (average pace about 14 minutes 35 seconds per mile). Water stations will be located at about the 3, 6, 9 and 13.5 mile marks, plus one at the finish. Race numbers with timing chips are collected on race morning; numbers are not posted in advance. A bag drop for small labelled bags is available inside Naseby Village Hall. There is no parking at the village hall; a free shuttle bus will run from Market Harborough where parking is available and there will be a drop-off and pick-up point in Naseby. Trophies will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers and all finishers receive a Naseby 1645 event medal. The race supports the Bruce Green Foundation with a proportion of entry fees.
