Listed entry fees for some options fall roughly between £26 and £42. Individual entries and price bands are published by the organiser for each distance.
Participant feedback highlights a mixed trail course with flat sections and hills, marked and marshalled routes, and well stocked aid stations. Finish facilities include a variety of cakes and drinks and race medals. Reviews also note parking and toilet provision at the venue. Some participants reported congestion on narrow woodland paths when shorter races start before longer distances and suggested adjustments to start sequencing and finish layout to reduce crossing and overtaking at the turnaround.
