Lumphanan Detox 10K

Route A is the preferred route but Route B will be used if conditions dictate. The committee reserve the right to use Route B should it be necessary in the interest of safety. Routes A and B are the same for first 6.5kms. The 10km (almost circular) course begins with a long, steady incline - lasting about 2 km. It is hard work getting to the top of this; but once you are at the top it is pretty well downhill or flat for the rest of the course (Route A only! … Route B has another hill at 7.5 kms.) Route A : At about 6.5km the route veers off the tarmac road and onto a farm track. There is a small incline at this point but it doesn’t last long. This ‘off road’ section lasts for about a kilometre. Conditions here may be a bit tricky. Route B : If the farm track is too muddy/dangerous the route will continue on the road down to the main Torphins/Lumphanan road. You will then take a right turn onto this ‘main’ road. Unfortunately, this means a bit of a climb before the final descent into the village. Important : Do not cross back over the start/finish line once your race is complete as this may corrupt your race time – exit the area via the playpark.
