About the race
The MTC NUCKELAVEE is a single-day ultra run held on 29 May 2028 and presented as Day 3 of the nine day Mount to Coast SCOTIA series. The event covers approximately 41 miles (route waypoints total 40.1 miles) with listed ascent of 2,712 ft and descent of 2,733 ft. The edition is the first for this event.
The route begins at Travelodge Edinburgh Airport and concludes at Travelodge Perth A9. Checkpoints are positioned along the route and the organiser enforces preset cut-off times based on a minimum average of 4.0 miles per hour; competitors who fall below this minimum may be withdrawn. Competitor entries are limited to 20, with an additional allowance of 20 SCOTIA entries for a maximum of 40 starters.
Maps and GPX files are supplied to registered entrants by email about four weeks before the race. Each competitor is provided with a tracking device that supports real-time tracking and an SOS button. The race is cup-free; runners should provide their own reusable cup.
Mandatory kit includes a backpack or equivalent, head torch with spare batteries, route maps as provided, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, emergency food pack (two chocolate bars) and a basic first aid kit. Finishers receive a bespoke NUCKELAVEE medal and male and female champions receive trophies. Entry fees are non refundable; a paid Race Package option includes an embroidered race shirt and lightweight hi-viz jacket if ordered in time.
