Carnegie Harriers Devilla 5k and 15k Trail Races – Sunday 11th February 2024. Entries NOW OPEN!!

Posted on by tracyhendry

Carnegie Harriers are pleased to announce that for 2024 we will, again, be holding two races of approximately 15k (9 miles) and 5k (3.1 miles) respectively. The races are scheduled to take place on Sunday 11th February 2024 with the 15k starting at 11:00 am and the 5k starting at 11:05 am. Both will be run under UK Athletics Rules and Licences from Scottish Athletics and will start and finish in the grounds of the Scottish Police College, Kincardine, Fife, FK10 4BE.

The Devilla Forest 15 follows a ‘relatively flat’ 15KM anti-clockwise loop of Devilla Forest, taking in a mix of forest roads, paths and tracks. The route skirts 3 lochs and goes through a variety of sheltered woodland and open ground. Ground conditions can vary from boggy to hard-packed.

The Devilla Forest 5 follows a similarly flattish 5KM anti-clockwise loop predominately on forest roads around the Moor Loch within Devilla Forest.

The race entry fees for the 15k are £15.00 for Scottish Athletics Members and £17.00 for non-SA Members and £10.00 and £12.00 respectively for the 5k.

Carnegie Harriers would like to invite your members to Devilla in February. You can find details of our race privacy notice and race terms and conditions on our club website here and event specific information here
