Race Details
Runners will be required to have a good headtorch, and to carry full body cover, a map and compass (just in case they got lost in the woods at night in the middle of winter). A spare torch is also a really good idea.
As usual the course will be well marked with reflective canes.
If you think you will be coming to the race it would be very helpful if you could register in advance using the link above.
This is free and does not imply any commitment, but will speed up the registration process. Pay when you collect your number.
Pre-registration will give us and the cafe some idea of how many runners there are likely to be.
This year Out & Back Store in Aberdeen and Norwegian head torch brand Moonlight Mountain Gear are offering up to 20 entrants at each race the opportunity to try out one of their head torches for free. If you would like to take advantage of this, please e-mail info@outandbackstore.com once you have signed up they will confirm your test product.

Start Location and Route
Registration and prize giving will be at the Tarland Tearooms in Tarland Square.
The cafe will be serving soup, teas, cakes etc so bring some money.
The original Knockargety race route is still buried under fallen trees so we will continue with the surprisingly popular three loops of the mountain bike trails, with a different descent each time. The race will start at the trails car park. Expect berms, drop/offs, implausible rocky bits etc etc.
