Dalkeith Country Park, Midlothian, Scotland EH22 2NA

By car: You can easily get to Dalkeith Country Park from the Edinburgh city bypass. Take the exit for Dalkeith from the Sheriffhall Roundabout on to Old Dalkeith Road. Turn left shortly after this into King’s Gate. You’ll drive through a long stretch of woodland before you get to the Park. The postcode is EH22 2NA.

By bike: Dalkeith Country Park is perfect for cyclists. We have bike racks available and recommend using the Town Gate entrance (postcode EH22 2NA) or Smeaton Gate for bikes (closest to the National Cycle Route).

On foot: The best entrance if you’re walking is Town Gate (postcode EH22 2NA).

By bus: If you’re coming from Edinburgh city centre, take Lothian Buses 3, 33, 49 from Edinburgh to Dalkeith. Jump off on Dalkeith High Street, the walk is then 5-10 minutes up the High Street to the Park. From Portobello or Musselburgh, catch the number 140 East Coast bus. From Bonnyrigg take the 49 bus. Both take you to the Corn Exchange Bus Stop on Dalkeith High Street and you can walk from here.

By train: You can use the new Borders' Railway to get to Dalkeith Country Park. There are regular trains from the Borders and Edinburgh City Centre to Eskbank Station. You can then walk from here (25 minutes) or get on the number 40 Lothian Bus from outside the Tesco opposite the station to Dalkeith High Street.

Car parking will be available close by. Charges will apply.

Tough Mudder Classsic waves will run from 8:30am to 2:30pm on Saturday.

7. Cash for snacks and extra drinks

What to wear:

1. A good pair of running shoes (that you're not too attached to) with good cushioning, traction, and drainage.
2. Form-fitting, light weight, breathable gear (always check the weather and adjust accordingly).
3. Awesome fancy dress (if that's your thing).

The course is designed to be difficult and the terrain is at times muddy, slippery and can be potentially dangerous. You will be wet after the first couple of miles. You must be able to swim 50m if you attempt the Walk the Plank obstacle. If you do not feel comfortable about completing an obstacle, do not attempt it - move on to the next.

Running alone? We’ve got your back. In 2020 all events will have designated solo runner waves so you can meet other lone wolves, form a muddy pack and get goal-crushing.
