What you’re in for
Five ten-mile loops inside Wendover Woods, so you learn the lap and then run it four more times. Wide soft forest trail with smooth descents and runnable climbs, and steeper pitches scattered through each circuit. Ninety-nine per cent trail, and ten thousand feet of climb accumulated a lap at a time. Two aid stations, the Trig Point Field start and Hale Lane at half distance, each visited five times. Fifteen hours. Watch for the road crossings, which are not all marshalled.
