Simon Wake Comrie Hills Relay

Logistics and equipment: the race starts and finishes at Laggan Park in Comrie. Parking is permitted only at Laggan Park and Invergeldie. Electronic timing uses the SportIdent system; teams receive one electronic dibber to act as the relay baton and must dibb at leg handovers and at the finish. A charge applies for dibbers not returned. Runners on legs 2 and 3 must carry map, compass, whistle, waterproof jacket and trousers, hat and gloves, and there will be kit checks. In adverse weather the organisers may require this kit on other legs.
Entry and prizes: entry is £65 per team of five. Teams are limited to 50. Minimum ages vary by leg; leg 2 allows younger runners born in 2010 or earlier while legs 1 3 and 4 require runners to be 18 or older on the race day. SHR team prizes and leg winner prizes are awarded. From 2025 any surplus proceeds will support junior hill running initiatives and the club junior section.
