A super flat route with a constantly changing feel as the route cuts through the heart of rural Northamptonshire. The course is 14 miles from Market Harborough to Northampton, and runners run there and back.  (Runners can also choose to start at the Northampton end and run to Market Harborough and back again.) At 28 miles or 45km, the distance is a little over a marathon thus officially making it an ultra run. The terrain and distance however, make it a good stepping stone for people considering looking at longer distances in the future, and there are also 716metres of tunnels to run through!
