Criffel Hill Race 2026

The Criffel Hill Race is an 11km route starting in New Abbey, a village near Dumfries in Dumfries and Galloway. Participants will encounter 550m of ascent, marking it as a brief, sharp challenge rather than a lengthy road race. The listed start time is 1:00pm from the DG2 8DU postcode area. Dumfries RC is the organising club. The race is named after Criffel, the hill overlooking the Solway coast in the region. Published results indicate a sufficient number of participants to establish a race record. Entrants can also initiate charity fundraising via GoFundMe using the event's listing.
