The route starts in Longside and heads south along country roads toward Peterhead, passing Rora Dairy and running through Inverugie. Runners are then guided onto the Formartine and Buchan railway line, returning to Longside and finishing along the old railway line into the village. Registration and post-race refreshments are served at Longside Church Hall. The start area is about a five to ten minute walk from the hall via Station Road past the golf course.
Roads on the route remain open, so marshals and officials will manage traffic and safety. Headphones are not permitted except bone conducting models, in line with Scottish Athletics regulations. Entries for the 10 mile race are limited to 200 and are open only to those aged 16 years or older. Entry conditions include non-transferability, a seven day internet-entry cancellation right, and participation at the entrant’s own risk.
