The start and finish areas are on tarmac in front of the grandstand buildings. The route is contained within the racecourse and uses a mix of grass, woodchip, paths and some hardstanding. Start and finish areas are flat and firm; grass sections may be slightly uneven and can become soft or muddy in wet weather.
Accessibility and site details note that the event is wheelchair accessible with assistance because of grass and woodchip areas, and there are no narrow sections on the course. Facilities listed as available include refreshments, toilets, dogs allowed, suitability for pushchairs, bag drop and showers.
Travel information references Gate 21 as the access point to the start, approximately 100 metres from the start line, and mentions Blue Badge parking and electric vehicle charging points at the racecourse. Bike racks are located on the B4705 about a five minute walk from the venue and the nearest train station is Cheltenham, which is about an hour's walk away.
