The Mighty Deerstalker
Muddy, quirky and as tough as you can handle. Take on the 5K day challenge or the torchlit 10K night challenge in your deerstalker and your best tweed!
The Mighty Deerstalker is a sell out every year and is now a cult classic with its fancy dress theme of tartan and tweed. This rollercoaster of an off-road run takes place in the Tweed Valley so be ready for steep hills!
With icy rivers to cross, forests to be battled and a range of obstacles to be tackled, the race is a challenge for all. The 5K Deerstalker takes place during the day whilst the 10K Mighty Deerstalker starts in half light and finishes in darkness – your head torch, supplied by the race organisers, will most definitely be required.
This fun-filled, quirky event is a challenge not to be missed!
