Course and logistics
Distances available:
- 5k

- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra marathon
The marathon uses the Kirtling Route, an officially measured, fully on-road route described as mildly undulating and scenic. The half marathon is a single loop on the Windmill Route. The 5k and 10k use turnaround points. Aid stations with drinks and nibbles are provided approximately every 10 km and at the race base camp. The route is on quiet roads; participants are advised to be aware of traffic and to wear bright clothing. The event has gone cupless, so participants should bring their own bottles or cups. The marathon distance may be used to qualify for a marathon GFA place. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
