A 10 mile long multi-terrain race over private tarmac lanes, hard gravel tracks and some paths. The route runs up to the top of the Downs, gently down towards Compton, along towards Chalton, up to Ditcham Park School, along part of the South Downs Way and back down to South Harting to finish on the sports field. There are many superb views around the course.

Note the course this year has been extended to a full 10 miles, with the addition of a finishing loop on the South Harting Sports field.  

The race headquarters will be at the sports field just to the West of the village of South Harting on the B2146 Petersfield to Chichester road, nearest post code: GU31 5QA. 

The race start is approximately 5 minutes walk away: turn left out of the sports field, up the main road and at the top take the lane on the left.

The route will be way marked and marshalled at key points.

There will be three water stations and every mile will be marked.

The measurement of the course is 10 miles.

This is measured as accurately as is practical over the rough ground in places.
