Dollar hill race

The Dollar hill race is an AM category mountain event held around Dollar Academy in Clackmannanshire. The course covers about 15 km with approximately 960 m of climb and finishes at the Cricket Pavilion. The route goes up Dollar Glen, crosses the Burn of Sorrow, and climbs to Saddle Hill, Whitewisp and Tarmangie. It then follows fence lines and tracks to Andrew Gannel, descends toward King Seat, passes Bank Hill and returns through Dollar Glen back to the pavilion.
