MTC REDCAP
The MTC REDCAP is a single day ultra held on 27 May 2028 and forms Day 1 of the MTC SCOTIA nine day end to end of Scotland. The course covers 55.1 miles, starting at the Gretna Chase Hotel in Gretna and concluding at the Traquair Arms Hotel, Innerleithen.
The event is organised by Ultra Running Ltd as part of the Mount to Coast End to End Challenge series. Competitor numbers are limited to 20 entries for the race plus an additional allowance of 20 for SCOTIA competitors, giving a maximum field of 40. All entrants must be aged 20 years or over on the day of the event.
There are preset cut off points on the route based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph; competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn. The organiser provides a tracking device with an SOS function and issues route maps and GPX files to entrants approximately four weeks before the event.
A mandatory kit list includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, the provided route maps, compass or GPS, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and emergency food. The race is cup free so competitors must bring a reusable drinking cup. Finishers receive a REDCAP medal and male and female champions receive trophies. Entry options are non refundable and there is an upgrade available to include an official race shirt and lightweight hi viz jacket for an additional fee.
