The Bruce's Crown race will run for the second time on Saturday 13th September 2025. Teams will navigate their way round a full circuit of the Galloway hills taking in the southern peaks, Rhinnes of Kells, Range of the Awful Hand and then visit Bruce's Stone before running to the finish. They will be supported on route by three fully stocked checkpoints (with hot soup etc) and MRT manned safety points on the hills. The "perfect" route is measured at 46 miles with 4600m of ascent. All profits of the race will go to Galloway Mountain Rescue Team.
The Heart of Granite race will be run for the first time on Saturday 13th September. This is a 20 mile, 1850m circular route for solo runners.
Both races are licensed and run under Scottish Hills Runners and under GMRT Insurance. To donate to Galloway Mountain Rescue - https://gallowaymrt.org.uk/donate/
