Route information

Terrain: Mixed
Elevation: Hilly

Both distances will follow excellent routes in Hamsterley Forest. There will be incredible forest views and expansive vistas, making the gradual and demanding climbs worth the effort. The entire route won't be an uphill struggle as there'll be some lengthy descents to keep that momentum going.

The final 2k stretch of the route will be nice and flat, propelling runners to the finish.
