Start Point We start in the Car Park of the Royal William pub at Cranham Corner on the A46 north of Painswick. Please be sure to arrive a reasonable period of time before the start for registration, preparation and briefing. The race will start without you..
Finish Point The finish is 100 metres before Ebley Mill on the large space of grass by the tree in the middle on the other side of the canal. Note that the final mile along the canal is off the official Cotswold Way.
Parking Parking at the Royal William is really sensitive and it is definitely not a location to leave cars other than as a passing drop. If your car is there for more than a few minutes, then go into the Bar and buy a drink or lunch (lunch is particularly good here) to return the favour to the landlord. At Ebley Mill we really need you to park in the Sainsbury's Overflow Car Park on the A419 roundabout at Dudbridge. There is no parking at all at Ebley Mill.
Race Profile One for strong downhill running legs.
