Event information
At around the half way point the route drops down across the valley and into Silk wood. This half of the course contains the undulations. Running through Silk wood is a chance to see many of Britain's native trees as well as specimens from further afield. You’ll run over the STIHL treetop walkway before the short but steep climb up Skilling hill to the finish line.
