Course Description: Three laps, traversed anti-clockwise (left-hand down), of undulating private roads within the picturesque grounds of Blenheim Palace. There is one main hill at 2, 6 & 10 miles. Water will be available on the course in cups at the start of the second and third laps. During the Woodstock 12, the hill up to Combe Gate brings the runner into High Garden, an ancient and undisturbed part of the Blenheim estate, past some of the oldest oak trees in the country and wild tree bees!
