The start is in the Market Square at eight in the morning. For the first nine kilometres you climb a forest track to the summit, 612 metres above sea level, and that's where the field spreads out.

km 15 The first feed station is at the keeper's lodge: water, bananas and tea.

km 22 The Raven Gill descent is the most technical part. Roots and loose rocks, so leave yourself a margin.

km 27 Mill Tarn: the second feed station and the first aid point. Then it's just the flat run to the finish.
