About the race
Heart of Granite is a classic circular mountain-trail race in the Galloway Hills, starting and finishing at Caldons Old Campsite, Bargrennan, Glen Trool, near Newton Stewart (DG8 6SU). The 32 km (20 miles) route climbs about 1850 metres, passing Curleywee, Rig of Jarkness, and the Murder Hole, then across the Old Grey Man of Merrick before returning to Caldons. As a winter race with potential winter conditions, it is fully supported and marshalled by Galloway Mountain Rescue, with on-course checkpoints and post-race hot food and drinks.
The race runs under Scottish Hill Runners rules and profits go to Galloway MRT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
