**A WEE NOTE ABOUT ENTRY FEES
Vet70 runners: Please use discount code OLDCODGER for an extra special discount on our standard entry fee.

Trans and/or nonbinary runners: We have a number of fully subsidised race places available through our partnership with

The race starts and finishes in Jedburgh. Event parking is Lothian carpark (TD8 6JQ) and race registration is in the Jed Thistle Pavilion (which is immediately beside the car park) from 6:30am-7:45am.
Changing/showering facilities are available in the Pavilion, and there is a secure area for runners to leave their kitbags.
The race route will be marked. Click here to see the route on MapOmeter. We recommend trail shoes as over 30 miles of the course is off-road and several sections are usually very muddy. All runners must carry emergency foil blanket, mobile phone, waterproof jacket with taped seams and hood.
A drop bag system will be in operation. Checkpoints/cut-offs are as follows:
CP1: Maxton - 10 miles - drop bags - no cut off
CP2: Rhymer's Stone - 17 miles - drop bags - 4hrs 30mins (12:30pm)
CP3: Bowden - 21 miles - NO drop bags - no cut-off
CP4: Maxton - 28 miles - drop bags - 7hrs 30mins (3:30pm)
All runners will receive a tech t-shirt (if requested). All finishers will receive a commemorative medal, goody bag and a beer. Spot prizes will be awarded to any runners who catch our eye for whatever reason (usually completely unrelated to running ability.)
We provide FREE tea/coffee and two choices of homemade vegan soup served with vegan focaccia for all runners. There will be GF options too.
