- Race Registration is on the day at Symington Sports
Centre – just
off the main road between Lanark and Biggar. Please register before
1.30pm (the hall is no more than a 10 min drive to the start).
- Park
at the foot of the hill with consideration for the residents.
- Although
on good paths, the race follows an unmarked course that
crosses ground
above 2000 feet.
- In November conditions on the summit of the
hill can be very different from conditions at the start.
BE PREPARED. If
required to do so
by the race organiser, you MUST carry full waterproof body
cover and
a whistle.
Ignoring such a requirement is not only cheating but could
jeopardise your safety in the event of an accident.
- If
you retire from the
race you must inform a marshal before you go home.
