MTC REDCAP
The MTC REDCAP is a single day ultra running event covering 55.1 miles. The route starts at the Gretna Chase Hotel and finishes at the Traquair Arms Hotel in Innerleithen. The race is the first day of the nine day Mount to Coast SCOTIA end to end challenge, so some competitors will be running alongside SCOTIA entrants.
Entries are limited to 20 place for the REDCAP plus an allowance of 20 SCOTIA competitors, giving a maximum field of 40. The event uses preset cut off points based on a minimum average speed of four miles per hour; competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn. The organisers provide competitor tracking devices with an SOS function and will issue route maps and GPX files to entrants approximately four weeks before the event.
All finishers receive a REDCAP medal and male and female champions receive bespoke trophies. The race is cup free so competitors must use a reusable cup. Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, provided route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and emergency food. Entry fees are non refundable; a standard entry fee is listed and there is a plus package that includes an embroidered race shirt and a lightweight high visibility jacket when purchased in advance.
