Knockfarrel Hill Race

The Knockfarrel Hill Race is a marked hill running event with marshals at key junctions. Registration takes place at Strathpeffer Community Centre. The start is at Blackmuir Woods, about 1 km from the community centre; walking to the start is expected as part of the event logistics.

The course is a mixture of landrover track and footpath with steep and muddy sections and exposed tree roots. The route distance is 8 km with approximately 350 m of climb. Waterproof jackets may be required in bad weather and competitors are asked to bring appropriate kit.

Car parking is available at the community centre and there is no parking at the start. No muddy shoes are permitted in the hall. Free refreshments will be available at the finish.

Race insurance cover is provided by Scottish Hill Runners. Prizes are planned for Open and Female 1st to 3rd and for age cohorts 40, 50, 60, and 70, with exact numbers of prizes to be confirmed on the day. Competitors may enter as non binary and will then be considered within the relevant open age category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
