The route is a circular course that starts and finishes on East Heath Carpark overflow, and it runs on tarmac and through woodland. The course includes a few steep hills and some very uneven sections. The event is chip-timed.
The main meeting point is the entrance at the junction of Downshire Hill and East Heath Road. The Heath is a large area and it can take 30 to 40 minutes to walk from one end to another, so participants are advised to use the East Heath Road entrance. The closest postcodes given are NW3 1BP and NW3 1TH.
Transport and on-site arrangements note there is no general event parking, drop-offs and Blue Badge parking are available in East Heath Carpark, and cycle racks are provided. The closest rail stop is Hampstead Heath Overground, about a 5–7 minute walk, and Hampstead Underground is about 15–20 minutes on foot. Buses serving the area include 210, 268, 603, N5 and 310.
On-site facilities listed include refreshments, toilets, dog access, and a bag drop. The venue is not suitable for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to uneven terrain and steep gradients. Support features include sunflower wristbands at the enquiries marquee, Event Managers trained as Dementia Friends, and a QR code for British Sign Language stage content. Participants receive a fundraising pack, a customisable back sign, training support, community access and a finisher medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
