Course and facilities

About 60% is on path or tarmac and the remainder is grass and light trail that can become muddy; road shoes are suitable year round and trail shoes may be used for extra grip. The course layout may be adjusted for health and safety or landowner approval. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start/finish of each lap with a selection of savoury, sweet, fruit, cheese and vegan items.
