Baggage

A supervised baggage area is located at the race headquarters. Each runner will be issued with a bin bag with their race number on it so that they can wear their tracksuit to the start.

Course

The race starts outside the White Horse Hotel in the centre of Bampton and follows the undulating main A396 road down the Exe Valley to Bolham where runners climb the steepest hill of the course and run past the front lodge of Knightshayes Court and across a bridge over the North Devon Link Road.
