Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with paved road (34%) and gravel (34%) being the most common and neither clearly dominating. The terrain is highly fragmented, switching roughly every kilometre. This demands constant mental engagement and limits the ability to build a sustained rhythm from surface consistency alone. The longest unbroken stretch is 7.2 km of gravel. Uphills are predominantly on paved road (63% of ascending sections). Descents are mainly on gravel (60% of descending sections).
Hardmoors Farndale Half Marathon has 8.8 km of paved road, this is in the top 59% of all our races.
