Hi, I am new to this race and wondered how flat/hilly the course is and how much is on trails rather than tarmac (I need to know which trainers to wear!!)
Thanks for your help

Approx breakdown is as follows
0-5.25 miles, tarmac roads or pavement. Mainly flat, with slight inclines from 1-1.5 miles and 3.25-3.75 miles
5.25-5.75 miles, grass tracks across side of golf course, undulating
5.75-6.5 miles, on beach, flat, conditions can vary
6.5-7.0 miles, grass tracks across side of golf course, undulating
7.0-13.1, tarmac roads or pavement. Mainly flat, with slight downwards section from 12-13 miles
And it can be a bit windy anywhere on the route !
