Insch, United Kingdom • 21 Sep 2025

The Bennachie Hill Race, held near Oyne in Aberdeenshire, is a popular off-road challenge organized by Garioch Roadrunners and backed by Craigdon Mountain Sports. The senior race covers about 8.2 miles (13.1 km) with around 1,600 ft (500 m) of ascent, taking competitors over Bennachie’s tops—Oxen Craig, Craigshannoch and Mither Tap—and back via the Maiden’s Causeway.
