The race begins at Archiestown Village Square, heading up into Elchies woods with a gradual incline for approx 1 mile on wide land management firetracks before becoming more undulating with great views towards both the Little and Meikle Conval hills and the mighty Ben Rinnes.
The route then becomes narrower and muddy at approx 4 miles passing through a narrow gate opening, turning left and descending this fast downhill section of the Mannoch Road, again with stunning views of our Speyside skyline and across to the Cairngorms (hopefully) this section includes a road crossing of B9102 with marshalls on hand to assist crossing as there will be no road closure on the day, the route will take you down and round the right hand side of the Cardhu reservoir towards the Highland Cows (who love a digestive biscuit!) finally here you will reach your finish line at the world famous home of Johnnie Walker, Cardhu Distillery.
