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 Commercial Hotel in Tarland. It will be serving soup, teas, cakes etc so bring some money.

The course will be from the car park for Tarland Trails 2, a mile away from the Commercial on the Aberdeen road. Runners can either drive there or use it as warm up. The course is yet to be decided but is likely to involve some big berms and the occasional unexpected rise. It will be fun whatever.
