There are strictly enforced cut-off times per Checkpoint implemented by the Event Organisers, GB Ultras, to ensure a safe event.  Checkpoint distances are approximate and may vary each year should there be minor diversions on the route (due to local authority/landowner works).  You must enter the checkpoint before the cut off time to proceed further in the event.  Should you pass through the Checkpoint in time, you may stay at the relevant checkpoint for no more than 20 minutes after the cut off.

The 2008 – 2018  Editions of the 54 mile event have previously had a 12 hour cut off.  The 2021-2022 56 mile event had a 14 hour cut-off and this has now been increased to 15 hours after the final checkpoint to help ensure those that reach the final checkpoint have a better chance to reach the finish.

Although largely a trail event, due to the nature of the event, you will be passing through some urban areas and there will be inevitably the occasional road crossing in Glasgow where it will be necessary to slow and possibly stop. No roads are closed en route. Particular attention should be given at these points. GB Ultras reserve the right to phase the start to spread out runners.

As always, if you see a runner experiencing difficulties please inform Checkpoint Marshals/Race HQ. Each runner is given the Race Director’s number within the Glasgow to Edinburgh Ultra Race Instructions & also at Race Registration. Our team will always endeavour to reach any participant in difficulty but due to the inaccessibility of the trail this can take time. Participants who lose time helping another fallen participant, can claim this time back, subject to Race Director discretion and under the proviso of completing the race within the official cut off time (due to venue hire, medical team availability and event team availability).

GB Race Tracker provide the Live Online GPS Tracking for the event with updates on participant positions approximately every 2 minutes (subject to signal).  On the front of each tracker is an SOS button which when pressed for 5 seconds immediately alerts the Race Director & Race HQ that urgent help is required who can then act accordingly.

In the event of a Medical Emergency please call 999 first and then inform Race HQ.

Where it is possible to transport a runner to the finish, this will only be available after a checkpoint closes and therefore may involve a significant wait.  In addition, as event teams are deployed to multiple checkpoint locations, transport to the finish may involve intermediate stops on route for further (potential lengthy) periods of time to the finish.
