Route information
Elevation: 750ft per loop
One Lap = 4.12 miles
Every hour, on the hour, participants must start and complete a loop. If you don't start, are late or don't finish a loop within the hour then your race is over. The faster you complete the loop, the more time you will have to rest; although, if you run too fast, then you will burn yourself out. Careful planning is the key to success! The winner must complete one solo lap.
This route is completely off-road, taking place on a private estate. You will race over well-established tracks with a few hills along the way.
