Cost?

£2+50p admin per race and £1+50p admin for U18s.

How do I enter?

Online entries only via Entry Central and there will be no entries taken on the day. Entries will close the day before each race. There will be no refunds.

Registration?

Registration will be approximately 150m north of the Beach Leisure Centre from 12pm on the day with bibs distributed up until 10 minutes before the race begins. You should retain your bib for the duration of the 6 race series but must re-register for each race so we know how many runners are in attendance.

Course?

Starting on the upper prom just north from the Beach Leisure Centre the race first heads south on the upper prom until the turn at Footdee(Fittie to us locals) where the course drops onto the lower prom and heads north all the way finish just north of the Beach Leisure Centre. It is a fast and flat course but can be affected by wind!
