This is a challenging steeple chase run which covers 5 miles (country miles, 8.5km) of cross-country terrain climbing up and over the Chevin. There is a change in the route this year to use more footpaths and avoid most of Hazelwood Road. Please note that roads are open to traffic and runners must obey all instructions from the race marshals.
