Runners will encounter a road surface, setting a brisk pace from the outset, leaving little room for error if starting too fast. Club members, non-members, and invited participants are welcome. The field is restricted to individuals aged 16 and above. The race format is designed for "fair competition across every fitness level" and typically "rewards controlled pacing and consistent effort."
