We use the following system to grade our routes:
GREEN: easy, non technical running with minimal ascent
BLUE: some ascent and descent but on non-technical ground
RED: significant ascent and descent for the length of run and some slightly technical ground
BLACK: significant ascent and descent mainly on technical ground.
Our courses are all marked, but minimally. Fitting with our ethos, we do not plaster the forest in neon signs, but try to keep a low key presence. You do need to keep your eyes open!
Information and maps for each event are available of their specific page. GPX files for each route are sent out in the final details email the week before the event.
