The route is packed with variety and includes much ground new to fell racing.

After an eyeballs-out ascent of The Band to Bowfell, the route makes a high-level summit-hopping circuit of Upper Eskdale, including the two highest peaks in the Lakes: Scafell Pike and Scafell.

There follows a mini-wilderness challenge from Slight Side to Blisco – fast running over the trackless reaches south of Great Moss. The final descent from Blisco is notably steep if you choose to take it head-on.
