A short winter fell race covering 6.3 km (3.9 mi) with roughly 350 m of ascent from Monmouth School Sports Club. The terrain is mainly lowland and rarely climbs above 300 m, but the route packs in moderately challenging sections on tracks and fell paths, with a slippery field descent when the weather is wet. Parts of the course follow open roads where traffic is possible.
