A very big thank you to our Volunteers and our Sponsors who without their assistance this event would not happen.

THE ROUTES
FUEL STATIONS
There will be drinks stations roughly every 3 miles. All of these will provide water.
SPECTATOR INFORMATION
Places where the public are able to have access to see marathon runners are:-
About mile 6 – Hensbarrow – where the tall mast is near Roche, park in the small car park (limited parking) at the top of hill – if you
are coming from Stenalees, turn left just as you come into Roche and take the Whitemoor road, then almost immediately turn left
again and follow the winding road up to the top. Runners will be crossing here into Littlejohns Clayworks at roughly mile 6.
If you go to Lanjeth, at the top of Hornick Hill, park in the Blackpool trail car park – walk into the trail and you will be able to see
the marathon runners at about miles 11 and 12 – they will be running around the bottom of the tip inside the fence.
Allow a bit of time as you will need to walk in a fair way until you can see the path over the wire fence.
Park at Whitemoor, the school park maybe open and then head towards the entrance to Dorothy Pit where there is a water
station. There is a permissive path that you can access just inside the gate – you will see the runners between miles 15 and 16 here.
You will need to view from the permissive path as the public will not be allowed to stand in the area where the water station is.
You will have an excellent view from here though.
You can also see them by accessing the entrance to the permissive path that is opposite Allens Tyres in Whitemoor, the
marathon runners will be passing through here between mile 16 and 17.

SIGNAGE
We use a number of signs during our events. Arrow markers are on a yellow correx board with a black/red arrow to mark the direction to be taken.
We also use striped tape, these are placed after any split to reassure you that you are on the correct trail.
We also use them along long stretches where no turn off is required or directional arrows needed.
