Glenmore 24
Glenmore 24 is a timed trail race held in Glenmore Forest near Loch Morlich, Aviemore. Runners complete repeated laps of a measured off road loop around forest trails, with a water station roughly halfway through the loop. The main route follows a roughly four mile circuit that includes about 400 ft of ascent per lap and passes along trails beside the loch. There is a short hill between miles two and three.
The event is offered as a 12 hour or 24 hour challenge. In the final hour there is an option at one hour less to join a small 400 metre loop; any full four mile loop not completed within the selected time is not recorded. All 400 metre laps are counted using a measuring wheel.
Support crew are allowed in the start/finish area only. 12 hour runners may have one crew member and 24 hour runners may have two crew members. Support crew are not permitted on the course.
A mandatory kit list and a recommended kit list are issued with the pre-race briefing. Mandatory items include a foil blanket, drinking container, food, a working mobile phone with race control number, a small first aid kit and a race vest for carrying kit. Use of any NSAIDs during the race is prohibited. Weather in the area can be harsh in September and the organisers will confirm kit requirements in the briefing sent before the event.
