If dot watchers have a spare moment between @FatPom updates on Saturday, I’m doing the Wychavon Way (only a wee bairn of a 40mile ultra compared to the Arc). Kick off is Saturday at 8.15-8.30am

Nice little race that Doug - did it quite a few years ago when if memory serves it went in the other direction
I look forward to the race report

I’ve done a circular route that takes in part of that a few times. (Grafton Butterfly Trail)
I don’t know how the navigation works in your event but if it’s just the normal markings on the ground they’re not great (on the short bit I did) so I’d try and take something to help. (Load into GPS watch, detailed images on phone etc)
The right hand side of this loop is the Wychavon Way and last time I did it (quite a while ago to be fair) there wasn’t much in the way of sign posts and we just had to head in right general direction across the middle of fields until we popped out somewhere to get our bearings.

Thanks I have the GPX on my watch and on the OSMap app, with a paper OS map and compass as backup.

I think you’ve got all the bases covered there 
When we first did it we (wrongly) assumed the Wychavon Way would be well sign posted so just had a copy of the linked leaflet and were all over the place.

I’m assuming that’s a race number and not the weigh-in slip 
Best of luck and try and have fun

The amount of food I’m taking it could definitely be my weight at the end
