After many years this truly fantastic event is being run for the second year by our local British long-distance runner Nicky Spinks supported by Galloway Mountain Rescue Team. The event will start and finish at Caldons, near Glentrool, Newton Stewart in the heart of Galloway. The route covers 46 miles across three hill ranges within Galloway (Minnigaff Hills, Rhinns of Kells and the Awful Hand) climbing over 4000 metres, with three manned food checkpoints serving soup, food and drinks as well as MRT stationed on the three ranges for your safety.
This event is set to be one of the best with fantastic 360 degrees views. On a clear day you can see the Southern Highlands to the north, Lake District and Snowdonia to the south, Moffat and Border hills to the east and Mountains of Mourne to the west.
It is a challenging route with very few paths, testing underfoot conditions and good navigation skills will be required. Prizes will be awarded to Teams of 4 and Teams of 2. You can also enter a Team of 3 and be eligible for prizes in the "Team of 2" Prize category. The team members have to stay together throughout the event and check into each checkpoint as a complete team.
1 or 2 runners can retire from the Team of 4 (at designated checkpoints) and the remaining 2/3 runners will be able to continue as a "Team of 2". If a runner wishes to retire from of a Team of 2 the remaining runner cannot continue alone and will also be retired.
There are two cutoffs on route and an overall 24-hour cut off to complete the event. Camping is included in the fee. Just let us know at Registration.
Galloway MRT provide search and rescue services in Dumfries and Galloway and South Ayrshire. The team are highly trained volunteers operating from our base in Newton Stewart. We hold charitable status and rely on public support. Since the team formed in 1975, they have responded to hundreds of incidents across Southwest Scotland. GMRT will support the race on the hills throughout the event.
All proceed from the event (after expenditure) will be donated to the Galloway Mountain Rescue Team towards the development of their new base. Further detail can be found at - Team Base - Fund Raising Page - Galloway Mountain Rescue Team (gallowaymrt.org.uk)
