Cairn William Hill Race 2023

CAIRN WILLIAM HILL RACE Saturday 30th September 2023 – Races start 3.00 pm Cairn William: 11.0km, 430m climb Senior Race (see revision on map) IMPORTANT NOTE: due to tree damage and new mountain biking routes I have decided that the direct ascent up Pitfichie hill is no longer possible. For 2023 we will instead ascend via the track running between the two hills and do a short loop up to the summit of Pitfichie. The rest of the route will remain unchanged except for some minor diversions when entering the forest after the descent off Cairn William. This is the same route as we ran in 2022 and will be clearly marked and marshalled. Registration from 2.00 pm at Monymusk Village Hall Entries (pay on day), £5. Entries will be accepted on the day. However, it is helpful for smooth running on race day if you are able to register in advance.

Tree diseases and pests are posing an increasing threat to our forests and can be spread very quickly from forest to forest on muddy tyres, boots or paws.   We believe everyone who loves spending time in the forest will want to help if they can to reduce the risk of spread of disease.
