Course and facilities
The course runs through open country, garden and woodland with surfaces including path, grass and trail. The route is undulating and has a 6.5 hour cut off. Feed stations are placed approximately every three miles and aim to be cup-less, so runners are asked to bring a re-usable cup or bottle. The course will be signposted and staffed by marshals. There are toilets near the start, finish and registration area. Parking at Temple Newsam is charged by Leeds City Council. Various buses serve Temple Newsam and the nearest train station is Leeds City Station.
Rules and on-course information
Large over-ear headphones are banned; bone conducting or "one in one out" in-ear devices are permitted. Runners should carry a route file as not every junction will be marshalled. If a runner withdraws, they should inform the nearest marshal. In some cases a runner may drop to a shorter distance and should speak to the timers or race director after finishing.
