There is a wide start line heading up a grass hill to start, make sure you're in the right place depending on your pace. Turn left at the top of the hill and follow the trail until the marshal and signs divert you back down the hill on the grass, the trails then follow around the 1st fishing lake, and onto the next 2 smaller lakes, here we turn right around the lakes and head up on the trail towards the entrance, at the top there is a right turn which leads across the top of the field before turning right down the grass hill, around half way down there is another right turn leading back towards the top of the hill at the start, this then follows the trail back to the 1st down hill down the grass, this time we turn left at the bottom back towards the start area across the grass and back onto a trail, the trail turns sharp right and down another trail past the finish area, this trail is undulating and has a few turns, we lead back up towards the 2 smaller lakes, this time bending around to the left and eventually onto a technical downhill section which can have a few large puddles and there can be a number of trip hazards such as holes, bricks, branches etc. Once at the bottom of the hill you follow the trail up hill back towards the start / finish area, the trail leads to the bottom of a grass hill, follow this all the way to the top of the field and then turn left, around half way along this field, we turn left back down towards the start area, turning right at the trail and then down the grass hill again, turn left here on the grass again, back to the trail and the sharp right bend and it's a downhill finish to the finish mats. It is a fast finish with over a 1KM of downhill.
