The routes

All routes start and finish at Penrice Castle.

The 100km challenge is a figure of 8 route made up of west & east loops which take in the best of the Peninsula, its history, and its varied and unique landscape.

The 50km routes take on the East or West loop, with the 75km taking a mix of both. The 25km and 10mile challenges are more central around the area of Penrice Castle, extending down to the villages of Oxwich and Slade.
