This a challenging, multi-terrain course of approximately 12 miles with a gentle start across fields.  It then gets serious with several climbs, a sting in the tail and glorious views. 

As this is a race, we expect entrants to run as much of the route as possible, this is for the benefit of marshals and sweepers, who are out on the hills for many hours.  We ask that you aim to complete the course in 3.5 hours or better.  We will operate a cutoff time of 1 hour 45 mins at the 6.75 mile point (just over half way).

The course will be similar to last year.   The race is almost entirely offroad.
