The first of the long races, and another tough course with stretches of off-road. The race start and finishes on the playing fields of Hell Wath, and goes through the grounds of Studley Park out onto surrounding roads, then back to the area round Lower Fountains Hall, followed by the 1/2 mile long steep drag up to Whitcliffe Lane, it's then mainly downhill on a narrow country road all the way to the finish.
