What you’re in for
This race used to be the Cannock Chase Half Trail Marathon. From Tackeroo campsite, a fully off-road figure-of-eight course crosses Cannock Chase. It takes in a mile-long singletrack descent, a climb back to the arena, flatter woodland, a long climb to the ridge, and Brindley Heath with its stream and open heath. The half is a single lap and the marathon two laps. The 10km is one lap on similar ground. There is water every four miles, there are mile markers, and there is no cut-off as long as you finish before dark. Canicross runs alongside the half. Minimum ages are 14 for the 10km, 16 for the half and 18 for the marathon. Parking and camping are free.
