In December 2024 Nicky Spinks and Galloway Mountain Rescue will take on the running of this classic southern Galloway race with the blessing of, and thanks to, the retiring RO Mark Hannay.

The new version of the race will head out over Knocktim to climb steeply through the Door of Cairnsmore. Then runners will head north along the Knee of Cairnsmore to reach the summit of Cairnsmore of Fleet at the trig. Turning south west from the trig they can then enjoy a long descent right down to the finish .  A total mileage of 17.50km with 800m ascent.  

Registration will be open from 9.30am at Muirfad farm and the Start will be at 11am. The checkpoints are CP1 Bottom of Door of Cairnsmore NX 520 646 CP2 Knee of Cairnsmore  NX 509 653 CP3 Cairnsmore of Fleet Trig NX 501 670
