We set out the mile markers, finishing gate, etc this morning.  The course is quite firm under foot, so we will be all ready for the runners to arrive for the 11:00 start tomorrow morning (Sunday, 19 April).  Race numbers will be given out on the day so allow a bit of time before the race to pick up your number - or to register if you have not already done so.

As you can see it is quite a stunning finish, although I expect you will be concentrating on this finish sign, rather than the castle in the distance.

The race starts and finishes in the Deer Park on the Eastnor Castle Estate.  It is an undulating 7 mile rural course over footpaths, tracks and through woodland, culminating in the "Orrible" climb to the Obelisk.  There will be a drinks station at approximately 4 miles and refreshments at the finish.

The race follows the course clockwise.  The map is annotated with markers for the start/finish (bottom left) and for every mile.
