The event starts and finishes at RSPB Loch Leven. This location is situated near the M90, making it accessible for those traveling by vehicle. For every participant, a portion of the entry fee is donated directly to the RSPB Loch Leven facility. While the organizers accept no responsibility for lost clothing or equipment, the designated car park is located near the start and finish area for easy access to gear.
