There is a seven-hour cutoff for the full marathon; completing the first lap within the event's lap cutoff is required to continue on a second lap.
The venue is close to the town of Church Stretton, with a train station within about one mile of the start. Entry price includes a medal and access to well stocked aid stations on course; marshals will be present. A cake competition will be held alongside the races.
