Course Notes Please Read Carefully
- All courses, including the Easy, go over or close to the summit of Owsen (409 m), with the long going across to Burnbank (475 m), so make sure you are prepared for bad weather and are dressed appropriately for being on the fells.
- There is a good amount of ascent on all the courses, but note in particular the climb on the Easy course – unavoidable to follow the scant linear features (and there is a taped section).

Terrain:
The terrain is generally fast and runnable (in the main), with some tussocks on the top slowing things down slightly.
There are come cattle on the area and although these are friendly Galloways, if you encounter them try not to startle them and avoid if possible.

Important Safety Notes:
- You must come and register before starting your run and you must return to registration to download even if you retire from your course.
- If you travelled to the event alone, you must state this at registration or leave your car keys.
- Full leg cover recommended.
- Waterproofs and whistles are advised and may be mandatory depending on the weather conditions on the night.
