This ancient woodland spans 600 acres and offers runners a rare glimpse into England's untamed natural beauty, where history whispers through every tree. Race day is meticulously organized with clear signage and efficient management ensuring that participants can fully immerse themselves in the event’s atmosphere without worrying about logistics. The race venue provides on-site facilities including toilets, warm and cold food options to keep energy levels high throughout the run. Participants will also enjoy post-race festivities enhanced by music and a welcoming community of runners.
