The event is based a round a collection of formal corporation parkland, 3 small wooded areas and a nature reserve that used to be a golf course. The A18 separates the parkland and one of the woods from the other two woods and the nature reserve. 

On the Long and Medium courses there is a 2 minute timed out crossing point (controls both sides) to enable competitors to access the southern parts and to return. Take care crossing this road as it can be extremely busy.

Because of the road crossing these courses are unsuitable for unaccompanied Under 16s.

There are a further (up to) 3 minor roads that will need crossing. However, these roads should be crossed carefully too otherwise you may find yourself visiting the crematorium that can be found at the end of one of the roads, somewhat prematurely.

The Short course stays to the north of the road and visits one of the woods and the parkland.

The running just about everywhere is fast...lovely open woods or parkland. With the autumnal fall of leaves the smaller pathways may be difficult to determine at night. To the north of the nature reserve there is substantial undergrowth but there is a good, tricky path network.

The nature reserve has several copses and many individual trees plus fairways and old bunkers.

Short – 2.1km, 25m climb, 12 controls

Medium – 4.1Km, 60m climb, 20 controls
