The Challenge

Starting from the breathtaking Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfries and Galloway, teams of three travel together through all the stages, competing against the clock and collecting race points as they go through the different checkpoints. The team with the most points and fastest time will win the event. A key part of the race is to plan your tactics, think about timing and, most importantly, work as a team. The course is different every year and surprise activities are only revealed on the day itself.

The course is for everyone, from first timers to experienced adventure racers, although a reasonable degree of fitness will only increase the enjoyment of the day.

There are three categories; all male, all female or mixed and companies are welcome to enter multiple teams.

To celebrate the achievement and hard work of the competitors, we host a BBQ in the Castle Stableyard after the race. This is followed by a prize giving ceremony, auction and raffle to raise funds for our chosen charity of the year, Horse Time. Based in the Scottish Borders, Horse Time is a SCIO that facilitates the delivery of evidence-based mental health and trauma interventions with feedback from horses. This unique combination builds on the known benefits of evidence-based processes by harnessing the psychological and emotional benefits of working in partnership with a therapeutic herd of horses.
