Further Information

Accessibility of this course changes depending on recent weather conditions due to a large section of the course being on grass.

In dry weather this route is accessible to wheelchair users but assistance is recommended. In wet conditions a large section of the course will be inaccessible to wheelchair users however the course can be adapted (although this will significantly reduce the distance). The main event site is on grass so may be muddy underfoot.
