About the race
MTC GLAISTIG is a single day ultramarathon of 31.3 miles held on 28 May 2028. The route runs from The Traquair Arms Hotel in Innerleithen to Travelodge Edinburgh Airport at Ratho Park and forms Day 2 of the nine day MTC SCOTIA end to end series. The event is the first edition and records ascent of about 2,793 ft and descent of about 3,138 ft.
Entrant numbers are limited to 20 regular competitors with an additional allowance of 20 SCOTIA competitors, giving a maximum field of 40. All entrants must be 20 years or over on the start day. Entry fees are published as two options: standard entry and a plus race package that includes an embroidered race shirt and a lightweight hi‑viz jacket if ordered at least four weeks before the event. All payments are non refundable.
The race enforces time restrictions based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph. Preset cut off times apply at three checkpoints and at the finish; competitors falling below the minimum may be withdrawn. Maps and GPX files are supplied only to entrants approximately four weeks before the event. Organisers provide tracking devices with SOS function for monitoring and safety. The race is cup free so competitors must supply a reusable cup. A bespoke GLAISTIG finishers medal is awarded and male and female champions receive trophies.
