Bruce's Crown race
Bruce's Crown is a 46 miles mountain running event held in Galloway, starting and finishing at Caldons near Glentrool, Newton Stewart. The route crosses three hill ranges within Galloway: the Minnigaff Hills, the Rhinns of Kells and the Awful Hand, with total ascent of over 4000 metres.
The course follows very few paths and presents testing underfoot conditions, so good navigation skills are required. There are three manned checkpoints on route where soup, hot food and drinks are provided. Galloway Mountain Rescue Team are stationed on the three ranges to support participant safety. There are two on-route cutoffs and an overall 24 hour cutoff to complete the event.
Entry is available for Solo runners or teams of 2, 3 or 4. The event uses pre-selection lists to allocate places. Minimum age is 18. Entry fees listed are £75 per person for Solo, £150 for a team of 2 and £300 for a team of 4. Teams must stay together and check into each checkpoint as a complete team to be eligible for a team prize. The event offers an option to purchase event cancellation cover. After expenditure, event proceeds will be donated to the Galloway Mountain Rescue Team toward development of their new base. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
