Tinto Hill Race

Although on good paths, the race follows an unmarked course that crosses ground above 2000 feet. In November conditions on the summit of the hill can be very different from conditions at the start. Competitors must have the following minimum kit with them at all times during the race: waterproof jacket with hood, waterproof overtrousers, hat, gloves, whistle, and map and compass suitable for navigating the course. This is the minimum kit requirement for this event, but you are responsible for carrying any additional items you consider necessary for your own protection given the conditions, or as the race organiser may dictate on the day. There will be kit checks. The minimum age is 16. There is no separate prize or category for juniors in the senior race. There is a separate Tinto Junior Hill Race for under 16’s, a non Carnethy organised fun run for even younger runners. If you retire from the race you must inform the nearest marshal and return your number to the race organiser before you go home.
