The route passes local landmarks including Otley Chevin’s Surprise View, the Cow and Calf Rocks in Ilkley, and Lindley Wood Reservoir. Provisional GPX files and a route description are provided in advance; the final route and instructions are emailed to competitors and may include last minute diversions. Routes will be taped and signed before race day but tape can move or be removed, so runners should use maps as primary navigation.
