There's an initial run out from the HQ of about 15 miles (I think) Prees Island roundabout, which serves as the hub for the next 22hours, and you alternate between the Quina Brook circuit which is about 13 miles, and a 20mile out and back (ie 40 total) down SE to Telford - the Quina Brook is used in the evening and after dawn, so the 40 miler gets pretty bleak in the middle of the night.
After 21+ hours they run you back towards the HQ, and onto a ten mile(?) finishing circuit, with a series of timekeepers on so they can calculate your exact distance once your time limit has elapsed.
The change of scenery and loops is very welcome, not sure how I'd cope on one of those motor-circuit 24hrs.
