The 5km (5000m) course has been accurately measured by a fully qualified UK Athletics course measurer. The event takes place in the scenic Ferry Meadows Country Park, Peterborough and is run entirely on tarmac paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain and the pontoon bridge can be slippery, so take care. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.
