Course Information

The course is around the beautiful Shorne Woods Country Park and offers a whole host of permutations for the route we are able to use. There are going to be some areas where the Park Rangers are going to prefer us not to run (that would be the beautiful wide gravel cycle paths) and other areas which come race day might be a bit challenging ("last year that was under two feet of water!") so we're going to decide the final route literally the day before the event when we mark the course.

We have a broad concept though which is viewable at the link below. It will be a quite a tough route, there will be some steps (about 178 low ones per lap), some hills and depending on the weather, some mud too! But it is very scenic here and always a nice place to run.

The route is viewable on MayMyRun here.

There are some lovely woods to run by, ponds, grasslands, wet lands and some wildlife to spot too as it is on a nature reserve!

It's a 100% trail shoes course, if its dry you'll be able to get away with road shoes, but it's possible to involve some mud in places, so we'd suggest trail.
