The route can be lovely this time of year as you run through lots of woodland areas. However, caution must be taken as the route can be slippery with leaves and muddy in parts if the week prior has been wet.

The courses are a mixture of good canal towpath, short stretches of fields that can get extremely muddy if wet, tracks, trails, and pavement.

Marshals will be placed along the route at the turnaround points and on the water/feed stations.
