The Law Breaker is one of Scotland's best known short hill races, combining a relatively modest distance with a substantial climb that delivers a tough challenge in a compact format. The race starts in Tillicoultry and attracts both experienced hill runners and ambitious newcomers looking to test themselves on steep terrain.
Covering 5.4K with 669 metres of ascent, the route heads directly into the Ochil Hills, climbing to the summit of Ben Cleuch, the highest point in the range, before returning to the finish. The demanding ascent and rapid descent create a race that rewards both climbing strength and confident downhill running.

Despite its short distance, The Law Breaker is widely regarded as one of the most challenging and memorable hill races in Scotland.
