The race can be run as an individual, or in teams of 2. The runs
are real hill runs, ie steep in parts with some heather. They will be
mostly unmarked, so it will be useful to carry and be able to read a
map. The bike ride is not very technical, but it will be an advantage to
have some ability on rough tracks. Full suspension is not necessary,
though it might be more comfortable. The route is all off-road, so there
will be no traffic. There may be walkers on parts of it however.
Cost of entry.
| STA affiliated | Non STA affiliated | |
| individual | 13 | 15 |
| Team of 2 | 26 | 30 |
Entries will be taken on the day but there will be a 2 surcharge per person.
All competitors must be over 18.
You must carry full body cover, a map and a compass,
the race will be run under Scottish Triathlon Rules. We
will take times and publish results on the website. The course will be
marked and marshalled where necessary.
We will use electronic timing with orienteering equipment,
so everyone will have to carry an Emit Brikke.
Parking will be at the Keiloch car park near Invercauld bridge. The
estate charges £2.50 per car. There is one toilet here and no changing facilities. The start will be about 1km from here by Felagie cottage.
We think we have a great course which anyone capable of
running up a hill or riding a bike should enjoy.
