Carnegie Harriers are delighted with the interest that has been shown already for the Devilla Forest Races which will be staged on Sunday 26th February from the Scottish Police College, Kincardine. Due to the exceptional demand the Devilla 15 and Devilla 5 races will now be chip timed and as a result of this the Devilla 15 race limit has been increased to 400.
This race limit is for pre-entry only and it has been decided that no entries will be accepted on the day for the Devilla 15 or Devilla 5.
The Devilla 15 is a 15km trail race and the Devilla 5 is a 5km trail race. Online race entries and further information can be found by clicking on the Entry Central logo below;
