10km Course Description
This is a great location that has never been run before. It is in the heart of the Cheshire Plain and is very quiet with lots of wildlife to see on your way round.
The course isn’t technical and is largely flat but does have a few undulating sections. It's 2 x 5km loops across fields, tracks and woodland. You start by running across fields before disappearing downhill out of sight of the start/finish line. You continue along the hedge row and enter a wooded area with a steep slope down to the river. After running next to the river you head uphill and across fields before looping round and crossing the start/finish line. Water and gels will be available here. That’s loop one completed - you are halfway done!
Underfoot is expected to be firm depending on the rain.
