A full lap is listed as 4.37 miles (7 km) but may change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. A 3k turn point and a 5k turn point are included within the lap to meet UK Athletics age rules. Laps required are noted as 3 for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon and 7 or more for an ultra; a 50 km option is available. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start/finish of each lap with a selection of snacks and vegan options. Toilets and changing facilities are available at the venue throughout the event.
