Not done the New Years day race but i guess its the same as the other Cowm reservoir races Andy organises.

It starts with a flat stretch of road thens turns uphill towards the reservoir, then you do a lap of the reservoir on good tracks and on the second time round at the top end of the reservoir you turn off onto a track that climbs gently. When you reach the top of the climb you follow a flattish track then descend on a road to the finish.

I have always done it in road shoes but when you climb the track it can be a bit muddy in places

I do it every year, really enjoy it. Blows the cobwebs away

Its the usual Cowm route, but the quarry section is sometimes omitted if the conditions are bad under foot.
