Course and race format

The first 12 miles follow a disused railway path before continuing along coastal paths. The route is partially self-navigational with additional waymarking provided. There are four checkpoints offering water and snacks. The event is open to road and trail runners; a 12 hour cutoff is stated, and the organiser notes there is a lot of hard terrain which may not suit those who are strictly only trail runners.
