Teviotdale Harriers are looking forward to welcoming you to our cross-country course at Denholm. The route for adults is a 2-lap course up and around Denholm Hill, and the course for juniors is a single lap of the course.

The course is the same as last year, but in reverse, so it is a steeper uphill start, but a gentler descent at the finish. There is a section along the Border Abbeys Way which is stony and  therefore the course is not suitable for spikes.

Parking is by kind permission of the feuars and is on Denholm Green, so long as the ground conditions are firm. Please always follow the advice of the parking marshals. In the unlikely event of parking not being available on Denholm Green please park responsibly within the village, not blocking any driveways or access. There will be some parking spaces available near the village hall which is at the road entrance to Denholm Primary School and some parking within the primary school. We are using Denholm Village Hall for changing facilities if needed and for toilets. Please remove muddy footwear before entering the village hall and do not in any circumstances wash muddy shoes within the village hall. The public toilets in Denholm Dene are closed. 

Please allow at least 15 minutes from arrival to getting to the start line which is up the Loaning in Denholm and is marked as the Border Abbeys Way. The route to the start will be marked from Denholm Green at the corner of the green near the café and the butcher’s shop.

 In the event of severe weather, the route may be amended.

We are hugely grateful to the landowners for allowing us to stage this event. As some of the route is on farmland with livestock, please do not exercise dogs on the route.
