Leg 7 has a bit of everything, trail running, road running, including a picturesque section along the river and a lovely footpath through the woodlands. Of course it goes without saying that there will be some hill climbing involved at some point! You begin Leg 7 with a straight stretch along the farm track before heading downhill into Maiden Newton. Head for the church, before following the footpath along the river, a steep climb awaits along Higher Drove. Head through the fields and the woodlands before the steady climb to the end. Your team mates will be able to see you coming, make sure you keep running up the hill!
