Can you do better?
The course was measured on 19 May 17 by Rob Cope, a member of the association of UK Course Measurers and was certified accurate. He was accompanied by club member, Ian Hodkinson
Many runners use their GPS units to check the courses and although they are a useful guide they are not as accurate as an official measured course.
