Travel: This run is point to point. Unfortunately we are not able to provide transport. Please see the Government Travel Advice   on Car Sharing. For Public Transport options please see Traveline Scotland. We will provide a bag drop transport from West Calder to Winchburgh.

Start: Runners are allocated an individual Wave Start Time from 9:00. Waves will start every 2 minutes to avoid a large group run in West Calder and on the narrow paths.  The 50km will start from Winchburgh Community Centre at 7:00am. It will be dark so you will need a head torch!! 50km runners will be GPS tracked. You can follow progress on the Shale Trail Tracking site.
