The race is an out-and-back course run on closed roads on picturesque, quiet country lanes from Alderton, past the hamlet of Great Washbourne where it turns just before the A46 at Beckford.
The course is fairly flat and is ideal for clocking a good 5k time. To view a full map including elevation or to download a GPX file please go to www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/1195513756
