About the race
Bruce's Crown race is a long mountain running event covering 46 miles across three Galloway hill ranges: Minnigaff Hills, Rhinns of Kells and the Awful Hand. The route starts and finishes at Caldons near Glentrool, Newton Stewart, and includes over 4000 metres of ascent. There are three manned checkpoints offering hot food, soup and drinks, and Mountain Rescue Team members are stationed on each range for safety.
The route has very few paths and variable underfoot conditions, so good navigation skills are required. The event accepts Solo runners or teams of 2, 3 or 4; team members must remain together and check in as a complete team to be eligible for team prizes. There are two intermediate cutoffs on the route and an overall 24 hour cutoff. Entry uses a pre-selection list: placing an entry on that list does not require payment and does not guarantee a place, and an offered place must be confirmed with payment. Minimum age is 18 on the event date. Entry fees listed are £75 per person for solo, £150 for a team of 2 and £300 for a team of 4. After event expenditure, proceeds will be donated to Galloway Mountain Rescue Team toward their base development. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
