We recommend that each team has one support vehicle only and they will be responsible for dropping you off at the start, meeting you at our major check points and at the finish and transporting you home. If you are unable to secure a support team, please contact the organisers for advice.

We provide a bus from Kenmore to Drymen, where many teams leave transport. This leaves the main square at Kenmore at 11.00 am. Tickets cost £10 and can be booked from the online shop.

If for any reason a team member decides to pull out of the event the organisers will transport you to the next major check point where your support team will meet you.

At the main check points only.

Ensure you have extra food and energy supplies to supplement what the organizers are providing. Bring folding chairs, table and waterproof sheeting (for bad weather). Supporters should be self sufficient at checkpoints as provisions are only available for participants. Support teams are welcome to join in the feasting at the finish. Tickets will be on sale in the information tent at Kenmore on Saturday. Ensure support staff are prepared for all weathers and midges. Take a road atlas and fuel up at the start.

We will provide:

While we recommend participants take part in the full event, there is the opportunity to take part as a relay team. All relay team members must register individually and are each required to raise at least £400 sponsorship. Classically the team splits into a walk leg and cycle leg. The checkpoint changeover from walk to bike is at Callandar. It is very important that all competitors follow all instructions on the day for check-in and check-out at all checkpoints, ensuring they communicate with marshalls when they have finished participating. There are three different end points – bronze (finish at Balquhidder), silver (finish at Killin) and gold (finish at Kenmore).

Please note that anyone fielding a relay team is not eligible for any of the prizes.

We have a range of individual and team prize categories that recognise fundraising commitment, fun and athletic ability:

• Top fundraising team
• Top fundraising company
• Fastest male
• Fastest female
• Fastest team
• Fastest mixed team (including at least one female)
• Fastest veteran team (all members at least 50 years old on date of event)
• The fastest financial team
• The fastest accounting team
• The fastest legal team
• The fastest team with a dog (walking stage only)
• The best dressed team

The prizes, with the exception of the top fundraisers, are announced at 9.00 pm on Saturday evening in the main tent. Please note that the minimum number of participants for any team prize is four and the slowest time recorded will be the team time. Martin Currie host a reception in January following the event where all trophys, including fundraising prizes, are awarded and the fundraising cheques are presented to the charities.
