The route covers 30 miles and focuses on highlighting specific sections of the Serpent Trail and the Sussex Border Path. Participants travel together as a group rather than in a competitive race format, providing an opportunity for those new to ultra distances to gain experience in a supported environment.
The course features a variety of terrains, passing through rare heathland, ancient woodland, and valleys. Notable landmarks along the route include Blackdown and the Temple of the Winds lookout, which provides views of the South Downs. The terrain includes hilly sections and a large variety of trails.

Participants are expected to have a certain level of fitness, with the recommendation of having completed at least 22 miles in training.
