of three legs (each of which will be run by a separate competitor) with each
changeover taking place at Johnstone park, giving spectators and competitors an
exciting view of their teams progress.
The first leg is a 6.7km run, running into the picturesque Alva Glen,
then onto The Nebit before progressing onto Midhill, Wee Torry, then finishing
back at the park for handover. There are five checkpoints to negotiate on this
leg.
The second leg is shorter at 4.6km with runners heading through the
length of Alva Glen to the 'Smugglers Cave' viewpoint, before running up a
steep ascent to Torry and back to the park again where runners handover to
their final leg runner. There are three checkpoints on this leg.
The third leg is the longest leg at 11.4km, run over some beautiful,
exquisite areas of the Ochils. Competitors will run into Alva Glen, then onto
The Nebit, Craighorn, Midhill and Wee Torry before the finale in Johnstone
park. There are seven checkpoints on this final leg.
