Overview

Runners take on a 5.275km loop through Rosliston Forestry Centre, mixing forest trails and single-track paths with roots, bumps and plenty of mud. The 6-hour timed format means participants can complete laps to reach 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon or ultra distances. A fully stocked aid station, fully signposted route, first aid cover and a bespoke medal are included, with trail shoes and spare socks strongly recommended.
