The Carnethy Skyloop

Much of the route will be familiar to Scottish hill runners as it resembles the traditional 'Pentland Skyline' route. While the route is not quite the same and skips a few key peaks, we believe this new route still offers a suitable challenge and good route and we are delighted to be able to offer a race after the ongoing the issues the club has faced. Registration, as well as start and finish at the Lothianburn Clubhouse, Midlothian. Please note that this start and registration location is not the same as previous Skylines, and is lower down the hill. Taking part in this race is a serious undertaking. As a rule of thumb, your finish time will be comparable to your road marathon time. The race route includes steep ascents and descents, on loose and rough ground, and sections of difficult open moorland. The course is mostly unmarked, you are required to be able to navigate over difficult terrain in low visibility conditions.
