Course:

This year the course is approximately 5 miles, from the start by the goal posts, you will go round Littlemoor Park 1 and a half times, head down the field towards the bottom right, turn left up the hill and follow the path around keeping the outer edge of the park on your right, you will follow the tree line around and up a couple of sharp hills towards the top of the park and loop back down towards the start and down to the bottom right hand corner again. Leave the park via the wooden bridge (take care it can be slippy), then go into the field, follow the field with the wall on your left, this field can become very uneven and rutty when cold or very muddy when wet. At the bottom you will be directed up a sharp hill and through the open gates, turn left up the track towards the farm at the top. Go through gate near the end of field, you will be directed right over stile to a gate which will be open. Down the dip to a tricky stream crossing, over a wooden bridge up a narrow path to the next marshal (this part can also be very muddy with thick clay type mud), turn right. Follow the path to the gate, use the stile, continue to follow the track to the road (be mindful of cars when entering and running on the road). Turn left for about 200 to 300 metres to where the road bends right, turn left here and over the cattle grid, there is a short track to a stile on your left. From here, follow the field straight down, bear right at the top, there will be netting in place to the metal posts. Turn right, follow the track then through metal posts again to the bottom of the field, bear left here and cross diagonal across field to metal posts. Up a tarmac track to the top, there will be a football field to your left and houses to the right. Bear left through woods on the main track, at the top double back down stocks Lane to the bottom, bear right up past more metal posts to the top, cross a short track into a field through a stile.Turn immediately right and follow field all the way round to the stile (keep the wall on your right), through 3 stiles, and back out of the gate, take your first right and follow the road for around 400 metres, turn left through a stile and diagonal across the field towards the farm. At the top of the field go through stile left up the track and then bear right past houses on your left, at the top turn left down a track, follow the path down to the marshall who will send you down a narrow path follow down to the bottom where you turn right back into Littlemoor park follow the muddy path to the right up the little hill, follow the path around and down keeping to the left down towards the bridge, where marshalls will direct you into the woods, follow the woods for about 1/4 of a mile, be careful with tree routes and uneven paths, keep the wall on your left, at the top of the park you will cut across the top of the start field and do a small loop around the trees, before turning right up to the finish which is the same place as last year. Hope you all have a lovely run.

There will be plenty of marshals

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

Silver.
