The start and finish are on grass in the arena at the end of the avenue of trees. The course is described as cross country and runs around Nowton Park through a mix of grass and paths. In wet weather the grass can be soft and parts of the route may become uneven. The main avenue of trees can have potholes and loose gravel, so participants are asked to take care and watch their step.
On-site parking is provided on grass for the event day, with accessible car parking on the main hardstanding car park. There are no electric charging points and no cycle racks. The event is not wheelchair accessible and is not suitable for pushchairs. There are no direct bus routes to the venue and the nearest train station is about a 45 minute walk away.
The event is chip timed and finishers receive a medal. A minimum fundraising target of £50 applies. Participants receive a fundraising pack, a customisable back sign, training plans, and access to a community support channel. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
