The Southampton course is mainly on tarmac paths or roads around The Common. The total ascent is 30m with a slow incline around 2k.  Due to these elements we deem the route as suitable for wheelchair users with assistance.

There is no allocated drop off points but all roads around The Common are accessible during the event. Only Cemetry Road is closed including the car park there.
