Organiser's Description
Distance: 26.07km, 1438m ascent, Category AL
Lomond Hill Runners have updated our yearly race to create a stunning long route, taking in the best features and views the Lomonds offer. The route changes from a medium to long, to plug the need for more long races in the calendar, and fill a gap that covers a lot of the historic Devil's Burdens race.
It is a fast and challenging route crossing all types of terrain. It takes in the best features of the Lomonds including East (twice) and West Lomond and now we are going 'up' the once infamous 'bum slide' from the Bunnet Stane. The route follows key checkpoints and areas with choice of route, though a recommended route is provided following paths and a gpx is provided on the Lomies website. The route will NOT be waymarked between checkpoints. To be compliant with farmer requests, some livestock areas are 100% 'no go' and marked red on the map.

It is likely to be a bi-annual race alternating with the Glenshee 9 which is also in August, but we will take soundings to ascertain if there is a desire for it to be yearly.
KIT: In order to be compliant with SHR Insurance, all entrants must carry full waterproof body cover, hat, gloves, fluids/food, map and compass.
PRIZES: Senior 1st, as well as prizes for 2nd and 3rd, first V40, V50, V60+, and random spot prizes for placings depending on numbers on the day eg. 25th, 40th, 100th places etc.
EARLY START OPTION: Please let the organiser know via email if you want to start 30 minutes before the main race. It is more awkward to organise on the day so please let us know when you sign up.
If the race cannot take place on the date scheduled for reasons outwith our control, we will reschedule the event and carry your entry forward to the revised date. However the race has taken place in all conditions in the past.
All entries are non-refundable.
