The terrain is kind, with just enough hills to keep things lively, and even the possibility of snow to add a little extra thrill! Remember, the course is nestled beneath a canopy of trees - great for sheltering from the elements but also means it can be chilly, so dress warmly.

And yes, there are full services back at Fairhaven Park for post-run comfort. Keep your eyes peeled for updates, but one thing's for certain: finish with a unique Last Chance coin/medal and celebrate guilt-free at the evening's festivities, calories already torched!
