Route information
Terrain: Paved paths, trails, grass, and pavements.
Route Type Loops
Runners will be able to choose from 6 distances that suit them best. The course will comprise a five-mile loop meaning runners are never far from the base and will feel well-supported.
The route is undulating in places but will be manageable for both beginners as well as experienced runners. This looped route will be well-marshaled and signposted throughout.
When you complete your race, everyone is encouraged to stay around and have a chat with friends and enjoy the post-race feast.

Cakeathon info
