The course is a “three and a bit” clockwise loop of Wardown Park, run almost completely on tarmac paths, with a short section on grass. Meeting at the bandstand on the western side of the lake the start is a short walk towards the 1919 Drinking Fountain roundabout. The course follows the western side of Wardown Lake, up the slope and to the side and back of the museum, past the tennis courts, returning to the eastern side of the lake. Once across the bridge and roundabout it turns right then right again towards the Boathouse and the lake. After the third lap, the run finishes at the Summer House behind the museum.
