Morven Hill Race

Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom • 4 Oct 2025

Morven Hill Race 2025, held at Groddie, By Dinnet, Aboyne in Aberdeenshire (grid NJ410044), is the final event in the Aberdeenshire Hillrace Series. The program includes three races: the Main Morven (8.8 km with about 660 m of ascent), the Half Morven (4.0 km, 400 m climb), and Mini Morven (1.8 km, 125 m). The courses run on good tracks, starting on a walker’s access path and climbing Morven to above the ruined Balhennie cottage, then descending via a bealach below Roar Hill to the finish. The routes are marked; separate starts for male and female competitors help reduce congestion, and the event supports a U20 junior league.
