Creag Dhubh Hill Race
The Creag Dhubh Hill Race, held at The Eilan during the Newtonmore Highland Games in Newtonmore, Scotland, is a challenging 5.6 km hill run with a 370m climb. The race starts with a full lap of the games field, followed by a demanding obstacle course featuring barriers, fences, a river crossing, boulders, and steep banks before runners reach the hill. The course ascends through birch woods and heather to the summit of An Torr, then descends rapidly on narrow trails.
After crossing the road again, runners face the obstacle course once more before finishing with a final lap of the games field. The event offers a competitive and exciting atmosphere for hill running enthusiasts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
