Hop Run

You will register at Stewart Brewing in the Bilston Glen Industrial Estate, where we will then transport you (in waves) to the start line.

The run starts at the world-famous Rosslyn Chapel and takes you on a fully marshalled 10km(ish) course through Rosslyn Glen Country Park, the North Esk River and finally Bilston Wood before returning you to Stewart Brewing.

Fully marked course with marshals
Coach transport to the Start Line
Finishers Medal in the form of a Bottle Opener!
Custom Event T-Shirt (if you choose it!)
Finisher Beer (well, you will need to celebrate)
Aid stations
Electronic Timing
Safety and First Aid teams

Feed station cups are our biggest source of waste so we’re stopping using them. There will be no cups at feed stations. Please bring your own reusable vessel or we’ll have some available in registration for a small fee. You will need to carry this with you and use it on the course if you wish to use the feed station.

T-shirts: some of you love them and some of you don’t. If you’re the latter, we’ll now give you the option to donate the cost of your event tee to our run charity, Bright Sparks. You can make this selection when you sign up by choosing No T-Shirt. Your entry cost will remain the same and we’ll donate the equivalent value to Bright Sparks.

We appreciate your help in ensuring our events make minimal impact on the environment.

WHAT KIND OF TRAINERS ARE BEST?
This is off road running and can get very muddy in places, we would recommend trail shoes.

CAN I BRING MY DOG?
This event is not suitable for those who want to bring their dog along. There are loads of Canicross races we suggest you enter one of those instead.

WHAT IS THE EXACT ROUTE?
Full route information will be published on our website around 2 weeks prior to the event. Some routes require land owner permission and cannot be recced prior to the event, we therefore do not publish the route in advance of the events.

DO I HAVE TO GET ON THE BUS TO THE START LINE?
You will need to register at Stewart Brewing on the morning of the event so please use the bus rather than your own transport to the start, that way we know where everyone is and no one misses their start time.

WILL THE TAP ROOM BE OPEN?
The tap room will be open when you finish, serving delicious pizzas and award winning beer, 2 good reasons for a sprint finish!

CAN I DEFER?
Unfortunately we are unable to offer deferrals, for information on refund options please see Terms & Conditions – Durty Events.

CAN I HAVE A REFUND?
For information on refund options please see Terms & Conditions – Durty Events.

CAN I CHANGE DISTANCE?
If the event you have entered has more than 1 distance option available then it is possible to transfer to another distance, this must be done at least 2 weeks in advance of the event and may be subject to a small admin fee. Please see Terms & Conditions – Durty Events for more information.

I’VE FORGOTTEN IF I SIGNED UP, CAN YOU CHECK?
If you selected the option to show your entry on the webpage then you will be able to see your name on the entries list located on the event page.
