Devil's Burdens Hill Relay

The Devil's Burdens Hill Relay takes place on 27th January through in Fife. This is a 4 stage relay with 6 people in the team. Legs 2 and 3 require pairs of runners as there are significant navigational challenges (ask Kenny), particularly if the weather and visibility is bad. Teams can be mixed male/female. The running is tough going and is mainly full-on hill running on open terrain. Full details of the event are here. Note that there are major changes to the end of Leg 1 and start of Leg 2 due to forestry operations.

Please leave your name here if you would like to be included in a team. It is highly recommended that you also attend a recce of the difficult sections of the course which will take the form of a day out with a lot of running the weekend before the race (Saturday or Sunday to be decided). The recce is highly recommended (ask Billy). We may have to be a little bit selective in terms of pairing up runners to ensure safety and good matching of runners.

Names received so far are here. We shall make arrangements for the recce in the coming fortnight.
