THE COURSE

5km - The race starts at Piglove and follows the Trans Pennine Trail for 2.5km and turns around just before Thwaite Mills. This is a very fast and flat course with very good quality footpath conditions.

10km (BST) - This Follows the same path as the 5km but continues past Thwaite Mills and then gets ever so slightly more rugged but is still very good fast running conditions. As it follows the river it is incredibly flat, however, there is one small bridge with steps that must be crossed.

10km (GMT) - The night 10km route will be double the 5km route, turning round at 2.5km just before Thwaite Mills.

Both turnaround points will be clearly marked and marshalled.
