About Caerketton Downhill Race
This 1.8 km trail race descends from the east summit cairn of Caerketton in Edinburgh, following a ridge route towards Hillend Hill before dropping steeply down a fence-line path. Runners navigate over a knoll, traverse a broad ridge through gorse, and tackle a steep descent to the woodland edge, finishing on a grassy path near the car park.
Taking place on 2 September 2026, this downhill race challenges participants with significant elevation loss across challenging terrain. The route demands sure-footed trail running and confidence on steep ground.
