After the huge sucess Runduro 1 we are coming back with Runduro 2 at Nevisrange. The same  creative "multi-stage" running event taking in some of the forests most popular running routes.  It promises an amazing running journey on some exquisite  trails,  in the heart of the Outdoor Capital of the UK.

 There will  8 timed stages making up approximatley 11km of the 20km route.

 The unique format breaks the route down into stages. Race the stages, enjoy the transitions and await your cumulative time for the days racing. 

Participants will  have the opportunity to relax, regroup with their friends and refocus between stages. Participants are allowed to walk or jog between stages. Just like our mountain bike buddies do at the Enduro format races, being social is encouraged!  We hope that the new race format will open up the course to runners of all abilities.

The Event

How often have you thought during a training run or even a race, 'it would be great to have a bit of a break'?? Mimicking the mountain bike enduro race format, this race allows you to do exactly that –give it your all during the timed stages, and take it easy in between allowing you to enjoy the journey, reflect on the stage just gone, and socialise with your fellow participants.

Having now tried this concept, we are sure that you will love it the feedback from the first one has been amazing. The format breaks the route down into 8 wonderful stages. Each stage is raced as fast as you can and at the end of the race, participants will receive results for each stage as well as the combined overall result.   The winner is the racer with the lowest combined time.  Participants are allowed to walk or jog between stages; there will be an early start time and a clear finish time, all participants have to do is ensure they start and finish btween these times. NB this will be very very generous.

We aim to  create a special and unique social vibe at the race. Participants will be set off in groups of 6 at pre selected start times set at approximately 3 minute intervals.

The start / finish area at Nevisrange will welcome you with a relaxed family atmosphere.
