The event is presented by Cancer Research UK and emphasises fundraising as its core purpose, encouraging individuals and groups to meet a minimum fundraising target while enjoying an accessible course. The route at Stockwood Park combines grass fields and tarmac paths and is described as an achievable distance for many first-time participants, with no pressure on finishing times.

The start and finish are on grass within Stockwood Park, with the start on a football pitch and the finish near the event site; course details and maps are published on the event page and may be subject to change. The organisers note accessibility limitations for wheelchairs, mobility aids and pushchairs, and provide dementia-friendly measures and BSL resources for attendees. Practical facilities including refreshments, toilets and parking are available on site, and public transport options and parking guidance are provided to support arrival and departure.
