The nearest train station to registration and start/finish is Whitecraigs.

The route

It's roughly 8km (two x4km laps) or just over 4.5 miles in old money. It's a trail race....that's an 'ish'. Bit of mud - hopefully. Some incline. Some decline. And some faster paved bits.

The route will cover a large area of the park and is definitely multi-terrain. Weather conditions between now and then will define what shoe type will be best on the day!
