The race starts and finishes at the community resource centre and follows the 5 Pits Trail toward Sutton Scarsdale, runs in the direction of Hardwick Hall without entering the grounds, then follows the Rowthorne Trail to Silverhill and returns on the 5 Pits Trail.

The course will be lightly marked with arrows at major junctions and GPX files will be available for both races. Marshals will be on course. The marathon has two aid stations and there are water stops on both courses. All finishers receive a warm drink, light refreshments and a Trails of Mena medal. Dogs are not permitted due to permit insurance restrictions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
