10.5 Miles 2500ft Category AM

Starts at 12:00:00

From Durisdeer Church Durisdeer Dumfriesshire

There was a race set in the same hills that struggled to get the appropriate numbers and folded. It was brilliant. The hills round this wee village are stunning. Coming from the M74 by road you cross the Dalveen pass which leads to a steep, narrow basin formed by the hills with an isolated shepherds cottage in the very bottom.

The race is a belter that takes no prisoners with loads of climb and descent weaving through this spectacular landscape.
