The run starts and finishes beside the river, 25m from the Olympiad Centre. The course is two anti-clockwise laps of Monkton park, then out along the river path, two anti-clockwise laps of the river loop, and back along the river path to the finish. It’s largely flat with one hill on the Monkton park loops, and run on a mix of grass, trail, gravel and tarmac paths.
