Manor Water Hill Race
The Manor Water Hill Race is scheduled for 10 October 2026 and is held alongside the Manor Sheepdog Trial near Haswellsykes, Manor, Peebles (grid ref NT 212 395). The event is organised by Carnethy Hill Running Club and profits from the race are donated to the Sheepdog Trial. Spectators and participants are asked to bring cash for refreshments and raffle tickets.
Entry is available online via SiEntries for £7 with limited on-the-day entry at £10 cash only. Registration takes place in the same field as the sheepdog trials and opens at noon. Kit checks are carried out at registration.
The course distance is 10 miles (approximately 16 km) with about 2230 ft (680 m) of ascent. The route starts from the registration field, exits at the field corner, crosses a minor road and fields, and follows the march dyke and vehicle tracks over White Knowe, Whitelaw Hill and onward to the top of Scrape hill at 2348 ft. Checkpoints are located at the wall crossing into the Glack, at the gate in the wall near the top of the Glack, and on the Scrape summit. Runners return by the same route to finish at the registration field. Depending on conditions the route may be marked at intervals but self navigation is required and a lower bad weather turning point may be used.
Mandatory kit includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams and attached hood, waterproof overtrousers, hat, gloves, map, compass and whistle. All Carnethy organised races follow Scottish Hill Runners safety rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
