The course begins with a lap of the games arena before heading onto estate tracks and forest trails around Craigendinnie. A sustained climb to the highest point is followed by a fast descent back towards Aboyne, with expansive views across Deeside providing a memorable hill racing experience.
The race is fully marshalled and finishes back inside the games arena in front of Highland Games spectators, creating a distinctive atmosphere. As part of one of Scotland's best known Highland Games, it combines competitive hill running with a traditional sporting celebration
