The course starts on the Riverside path, approximately 10 minutes walk from Prudhoe Railway Station. Runners will stay on right side of the main path towards Wylam and take a right turn leading to a footpath behind chalk hills known as The Spetchells. Runners will continue down this trail footpath, with slight inclines and complete 2 clockwise laps, finishing at the start line with a steady downhill towards the finish. The majority of the path is trail and may not be suitable for buggies, the course is mostly flat with a gradual climb and a steeper downhill section.
