6.5 miles, 710 feet
Route Description:
The race follows the riverside footpath and farm tracks to the foot of the Law. The ascent is a steep rock scramble up the east ridge on the edge of the old quarry followed by a fast grassy descent back to farm tracks and the riverside path. The outgoing route involves a wade across the River Tyne which is usually no more than a welcome cooling but sometimes becomes a raging torrent forcing a course detour by the footbridge.
