Bruce's Crown
Bruce's Crown is a long mountain running event held on 3 April 2027. The course is approximately 46 miles with about 4600 m of ascent and may be entered by solo runners or teams of two, three or four.
Entries are pre-screened for suitable hill experience; solo entries or at least two members of a team must meet specified mountain or long-fell-race experience criteria. The entry fee is £75 per person. Registered competitors receive a Harbours Gin miniature, a commemorative mug, and a vegetable chilli at the finish. Camping is available at Caldons campsite on the nights before the race; fees are £5 per tent and £10 per campervan with mostly grass pitches.
The route is checkpoint based and tracked using opentracking. Organisers publish a recommended route but competitors may choose their own lines between checkpoints. There are multiple manned checkpoints, including staffed track checkpoints offering hot food and drink and additional manned points on the three mountainous sections for safety. A quarry section is designated out of bounds on one part of the route. Maps, low-level alternative routes for bad weather, and route notes are provided by the organiser. Prizes are awarded for solo and team categories including Open, Ladies, Mixed and Vets teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
