The race is usually somewhere between 31-33 miles long and starts in the village of Killin. The route is run on a variety of surfaces, but all good underfoot, so it would make a nice race for those looking to step up from marathon distance. Of course, being Scotland in November, the weather might add a wee extra challenge to the proceedings. The route is out and back (with a twist), so you don’t need to worry about transport back to the start.
The race will start from Killin at 8am and runners should aim to be finished by 4pm. This works out at an average 4mph. Depending on the weather conditions, we may impose a cut-off time at the final checkpoint for runners who are walking/struggling and may not finish before darkness. This is for the safety of you and the race crew.
We’ll provide water every 7 miles or so at race checkpoints where you can also choose to have a drop bag available. BAM do not supply disposable cups at checkpoints as we are trying to reduce waste at all our events.
The majority of the route is on cycle paths and forest trails so its good conditions underfoot and nothing technical although depending on the weather, you’ll probably get your feet wet in the forest. There are 5 miles or so on very quiet country B roads out the back of Strathyre, headed towards Balquihidder.
This is an unsupported race. Its a solo running challenge and its only fair for everyone to treat it as such. So don’t be receiving outside assistance, especially if you’re at the pointy end of things, because the chances are you’ll be found out and then we’ll have to sort it out which is a real ball ache and puts a dampener on the day.
