Yes It is marked using orrage ribbon, surveyors flags, correx arrows, wrong way X markers, some spray chalk.

This is a trail race and anyone who has run interesting and challenging courses will know that the margin to go wrong is bigger if you aren't concentrating or if you're listening to music on headphones.
