About the Golspie Backyard Ultra
Golspie's backyard race supports local rescue and blood-bike charities while using the grounds around Dunrobin Castle. A compact field and coastal setting give it a distinctly northern Scottish identity.
Course
Each 6.706-kilometer yard mixes woodland path, grass, tarmac and a coastal section near the castle. The undulating loop gains about 79 meters before runners return for the next hourly start.
Race-day weather
November on the Sutherland coast can deliver cold wind, rain or occasional snow. Salt air and exposed sections contrast with sheltered woodland, so conditions can change within one yard.
