                                                                     07/08/2022

 

 

The event will take you on routes that are captivating which are not very technical underfoot, they are all a mix of Gravel track, Forest track and pathways, some flat tarmac and either wide open or tree lined grassland tracks (NOT CUT GRASS) all with stunning beauty at every turn, part of the run will take you through wooded areas.

Criss crossing the estate will take you on visually stunning routes.

There are two laps on this event for the Ultra and Marathon and just one for the Half, 10km and 5km.

Registration will be conducted on the morning of the event in the Large Marquee in the event village, all routes start on the edge of the event village and the Start/Finish is approx. a 1-minute walk from registration.

 

There is no what could be classed as climbing, no mountains or hills, but there may be some lumps here and there which will still make it a tough run.

There are a few road crossings moving from one part of the course to another, these crossings will all have a marshal and we have limited them to a minimum.
