The course (race map)
The race follows a one-lap, scenic, multi-terrain course of approximately 10 miles. It is an undulating route mainly on footpaths through parkland. The race starts on Hell Wath Nature Reserve, goes up Whitcliffe Lane onto public footpaths through Mackershaw Woods, and then via the Seven Bridges and Plumpton Lane it travels through Studley Roger Deer Park, emerging at the obelisk before returning to Hell Wath Nature Reserve via Fountains Lane and Whitcliffe Lane. The course is not suitable for wheelchairs, prams or pushchairs. A route map will be displayed at Race HQ on the day.
Studley Deer Park
Please be aware that Mackershaw and Studley parklands are home to large groups of deer. Their welfare remains paramount, and deer must be given plenty of space to roam naturally.
In the unlikely event that the deer interfere, pass close-by, or are couched near the race route, give them a wide berth and time to safely move elsewhere. Never surround them without providing them an exit route.
