Blairgowrie & Rattray Highland Games
Hill Race
The Traditional Hill Race at the Games is over an approximate 4 mile course.
Starting in the Games Field Arena, out onto Essendy Road via the Pedestrian Entrance, then turning left into Weasel Road. Continuing on and over Dunkeld Road, and up the hill.
Just before the house, you will then follow the track to the right, and round the field above the house.
You will complete two circuits of this field before then heading back down the hill, and following the route back in reverse to the Games Field.
Finishing off with a final lap of the track, to the finish line.
The route is marked to help keep the competitors right.
For the first competitor back wearing a kilt, an extra special prize awaits - a bottle of Champagne.
