MTC GRIMALKIN
The MTC GRIMALKIN is a single-day ultra run taking place on 30 May 2028 and listed as the first edition of the event. It forms Day 4 of the nine day Mount to Coast SCOTIA series and follows a route of about 34 miles from Travelodge Perth A9 (PH1 3JJ) to Atholl Guest House, Pitlochry. The route passes through Bankfoot, Dunkeld and Pitlochry and has total ascent of 3,126 ft and total descent of 2,806 ft.
Entries are limited to 20 race-only competitors with an additional allowance of 20 SCOTIA competitors for a maximum of 40 starters. Entry is non refundable; an optional race package upgrade includes an embroidered race shirt and lightweight hi-viz jacket. Finishers receive a bespoke GRIMALKIN medal and male and female champions receive trophies currently in design.
The event enforces minimum progress and cut-off controls based on a 4.0 mph average; competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn. The race is cup-free so competitors must use their own reusable cup. Maps and GPX files are supplied by the organiser to entrants approximately four weeks before the event. Competitors must be aged 20 or over on the start day and carry mandatory kit including a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, maps as provided, compass or GPS, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid, an emergency food pack and a waterproof map case. Tracking devices and checkpoint food are provided on the route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
