The course links the historic grounds of Exhibition Park with the wide open space of the Town Moor on a multi‑lap layout. The route uses wide park paths and combines tarmac and compact gravel underfoot. The organisers describe the course as flat, with clear signage, directional arrows and marshals positioned throughout, including at the split point where distances separate and later rejoin. The route provides city skyline views with lines of sight toward St James’ Park.
Entries include a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip timed results, post race goodies and a bag drop. Water stations are located around the course at approximate intervals of 5k, with bottled water available at the finish. Results feed into national rankings.
Practical information includes on‑site toilets and an event village with food and drink and accessible viewing areas for spectators. There is no dedicated event parking at Exhibition Park; the nearest Metro station is Haymarket, about a 10 minute walk, and local bus stops serve Great North Road and Claremont Road. Race packs are collected at registration on the day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
