Each loop will be 7 miles and it will take you along both the Trans Pennine Trail trail and the Don Valley trail, over Rumtickle Viaduct and through Thurgoland Tunnel. The tunnel is 924ft long and was opened in 1845. As well as having an aid station at the start/finish, there is also one at the 3.5 mile turnaround mark before runners head back through the tunnel again.
You can run as few or as many laps as you wish within the 6 hour limit. 2 laps is a heavy half (14 miles) and 4 laps for 28 miles. All runners, no matter how many laps they have run will receive a bespoke medal and a goody bag.
