Course and logistics

The course runs on trails within Falkland Estate and links several popular local trails. It includes two long steady climbs, a sharp finishing climb close to the finish, and a mix of exhilarating descents, gravel, rooted trail and forest track; good grippy trail shoes are recommended. A route map and a GPX file are available on the Lomond Hill Runners races page and a course recce is recommended. Chip timing is used on race bibs (Protay). There is an early start option that was used by about 30 runners last year; requests for the early start must be made to the organiser in advance. Prize money is offered: Senior 1st £80, 2nd £40, 3rd £20; first V40, V50 and V60+ £30 each, plus wine and assorted random spot prizes. £3 of each entry fee is donated to Falkland Estate for trail maintenance.
