There are Roman lead mines, underground rivers, a nature reserve, open moorland, potholes, an ancient rabbit warren, an Iron Age fort, deciduous and conifer forest, and prehistoric tumuli. The race will be run under FRA regulations and in full compliance with their Covid-related safety guidelines at the time of the event. Start of the race is 11:00 am
