The Course
Your journey begins and ends at the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Country Park near Horndean.

With over 1,200m (3,940 feet) of elevation gain, the course is a demanding mix of rolling hills, steep climbs and rewarding descents.
The terrain is predominantly trail, taking you through ancient woodlands, across open fields, and along well-trodden paths that showcase the natural beauty of the area. A small portion of the route is on quiet country lanes, providing a brief change of pace. With a generous 12-hour cut-off time and four well-stocked aid stations along the way, you'll have the support you need to focus on your race and conquer the course.
