Tinto Hill Race

The Tinto Hill Race, organized by Carnethy Hill Running Club, is a challenging 4.4-mile hill running event with a 1,500-foot climb, held near Tinto Hill in Scotland. The course follows unmarked paths above 2,000 feet, requiring runners to carry mandatory safety kit including waterproofs, hat, gloves, whistle, map, and compass due to variable November weather conditions. Registration and parking are at Thankerton Camp Farm, with strict parking rules to ensure safety.

The race features a competitive atmosphere with prize presentations and refreshments afterward. A separate junior race for under-16s covers 2 km with 80 meters of ascent, encouraging youth participation in hill running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
