Route information
New for 2023 the event will be this ten hour endurance run to complete as many 6.25/7.5/8.33 mile loops as you wish in the time limit, (the final distance will be decided closer to the event depending on how wet the paths are at St Nicholas Farm).
The course is a mix of tarmac roads (about 2%), decent trail (about 15%), not quite so decent trail (about 5%), and the rest is high quality concrete and tarmac farm roads and bike paths.
Sunset is 17:16 so there will be a few good hours in the light before the lights go out!
