What’s included

The 5km loop runs on estate tracks and field edges along the John Muir Way, waymarked and lit where it needs to be. Every lap brings you back through a tented base camp, so your kit, food and support are never more than a lap away.

There is music, lighting and hot food through the evening, and fire to warm up beside between laps. Around 220 runners are expected.

Solo entry is £61 for the first fifty places and £70 after that. A team of three is £90 for the first fifteen teams and £96 after that.

The race is organised by John Muir Way Ultra and Silent Running Scotland. Balgone hosts the event and entries are handled by the organiser through EntryCentral.
