Distances
- Marathon

- 10K
The full marathon follows two laps of rural lanes. The half marathon follows the first lap of the marathon and splits from that route just after 11 miles to return to the finish. The 10K uses Offerton Lane and includes about 4 km on a canal towpath to Dunhamptead before rejoining the main route.
Logistics note that numbers and timing chips are collected on race day and are not posted. There are no day entries. Parking is prebooked at Sixways with ANPR control; unregistered vehicles will not be allowed entry.
Minimum ages are 18 for the marathon, 17 for the half marathon and 15 for the 10K. The full marathon has a checkpoint policy: runners who do not reach the 11 mile point within 2 hours 15 minutes will be directed to complete only the half marathon distance and will receive a finish time and medal.
Aid and facilities include a baggage drop near the finish, toilets at the finish area and on-course toilets, and water stations: three on the half, seven on the full and one on the 10K. Only bone conduction open ear headphones are permitted on this open road event. Refunds, transfers and cancellation policies follow the organiser terms.
