The Turnhouse Hill race (5.2kms, 310 metres) is a traditional “turn up on
the day” hill race suited for all runners with hill running experience.
Although relatively short, the main ascent and descent to/from the summit
are steep so hill shoes are advised.
The race start is a few minutes jog up the road from the Flotterstone car
park (NT229631).
