Creag Dhubh Hill Race

The Creag Dhubh Hill Race is a challenging 3.5-mile (5.6 km) hill running event held at The Eilan during the Newtonmore Highland Games in Newtonmore, Scotland. The course starts with a full lap of the games field, followed by a demanding obstacle section including fences, a river crossing, boulders, and steep banks before runners reach the hill. The ascent leads through birch woods and heather to the summit of An Torr, with a fast and technical descent back down.

The race features a total climb of 370 meters and finishes with another lap of the games field. It offers a rugged, exciting atmosphere amid traditional Highland Games festivities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
