Facilities include a water aid station at the lap point, registration and post race tea, coffee and cake at Oak Lodge, and discounted parking for participants with a QR code. The course is mainly pathway with a small section of trails and woodland; the final route is to be confirmed. The event is cupless so participants should bring cups or bottles for refilling.
