Any info regarding the course would also be appreciated.

Many thanks,

It's a champs race so should be plenty around to follow, but I wouldn't rely on it if I was you. Recce is the gold standard, not only will you learn the general layout (even if you don't get it exactly right), but you will also learn what to expect and therefore what to save in reserve. If you're not able to do a full recce, definitely recce the final half which is tricky, and the most likely point to find yourself on your own.
