MTC Redcap

Gretna Green marks the start of MTC Redcap, a new event in the "Mount to Coast End to End Challenge Series." This is a difficult, direct, single-day challenge across the initial section of Scotland's "end to end challenge." The course concludes at the Traquair Hotel in Innerleithen. The Traquair Arms Hotel is also mentioned in the race details, giving the day a distinct point-to-point character, unlike a loop course that offers a mental escape. You will share the route with ultra runners participating in Day 1 of SCOTIA, a nine-day multi-day event. This shared course should foster a focused, serious atmosphere. Participant numbers are limited, a minimum pace requirement is enforced, and the equipment list indicates that weather is a factor in the challenge. It is a Cup-Free event, requiring participants to bring their own reusable cup. All finishers will receive a "Bespoke race medal" connected to the "Myths & Legends of SCOTIA."
