The Chilli Trail Race is renowned for its unique route shaped like a chili pepper! Starting in the heart of Auchterarder, runners will venture into the foothills of the Ochil Hills. The course features varied surfaces such as forest trails and paved paths, with stunning views throughout. Expect steady climbs and exhilarating descents, along with stream crossings that add an extra element of adventure to your run.

A race safety briefing will be sent via email a week before the event date to ensure all participants are aware of essential guidelines and can ask any questions they may have beforehand. Race marshals will also provide on-site guidance throughout the course, prioritizing runner safety at every turn.
