The majority of the route is on grass on The Downs, with a slight incline from the Sea Wall up to Stoke Road making the route wheelchair accessible with assistance. The course within its first 2k must follow the route around Wildflower Meadow, this route follows an uneven track due to tree routes. An option to avoid this section of the route will be available just after 1km where you can cross Circular Road and follow on the tarmac path on the opposite side of the road following the course route and re-joining by crossing Circular road just after 2km as you approach the sea wall. The 10k Course has an overall ascent of 56m throughout the full 10k course.
