Course conditions

The route is predominantly trail and can become extremely muddy and difficult to run after heavy rain. If conditions make the standard course unsuitable, an alternative route will be used. This takes in more of the Wayfarer's Walk and approximately half of the standard course, and does not start from Combe Gibbet.

If the alternative route is required, a decision will be made no later than one week before race day.

Race day registration and parking

Race day registration will take place at Overton Recreation Centre (ORC), Bridge Street, Overton, Basingstoke, RG25 3HD.

Please note that there is no parking at the ORC. Parking is available at Overton Primary School, a short walk from the registration venue. The car park will be signposted from the village on race day.
