Held in Badminton Park (by kind permission of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort), the off-road, all-terrain course takes runners over some of the world-famous Horse Trials obstacles, along country tracks in sight of the deer herds, and through fields and woods. The event features professional chip-based electronic timing for all runners.
The event raises money for Rotary Charities and allows runners to seek their own sponsorship for their own charities.
