The courses reunite at Steeple Claydon, before finishing together again at The Buckingham School.

Course split and rejoin:
The Course Split will be clearly marked with a ‘COURSE SPLIT’ sign at the junction and another sign after the split confirming which course you are now on.
- The course split comes at 8 Miles, just before Preston Bissett hamlet
- The courses rejoin at 32M (Standard)/12M (Short) just before Steeple Claydon
- Both courses finish on the same route between Steeple Claydon & Buckingham
