The full 100 km route is a figure of eight loop through Derbyshire scenery. There are also three quarter, half, quarter and shorter options that pass Chatsworth House and other local landmarks.
The event provides marked routes with GPS tracking and an event app. Rest stops are supplied roughly every 12.5 km with major rest stops about every 25 km. Marquee rest stops include catering, seating, changing areas, medical and welfare tents. Food and drinks are included on route with snacks at shorter intervals and a meal roughly every 25 km; dietary requirements are catered for and lighter options are available for runners.
Medical cover includes doctors, paramedics, first aiders, podiatrists and massage teams, plus a 24 hour control room and mobile emergency teams. Camping packages include showers and rest areas.
