The Course
From Low Dalby visitor's centre, the first 2 miles are a steady uphill climb on a private tarmac road along House Dale and then at the top of the hill we turn right as the track levels off. First runners to summit get the King and Queen of the Hill prize!
The surface continues as an uneven compacted stone trail, the track turns right. Now begins the fast and furious decent as we head down Sand Dale and Heck Dale. At the bottom, a right turn takes you along Dalby Beck and down the trail back to Low Dalby and the finish.
Prizes
Finishers get a Dalby Dash memento! Prizes to the first 5 men and women, King and Queen of the Hill, first local man and woman (YO18 postcode only) and vet's prizes presented at visitor's centre 12:30pm.
Prizes are posted to category winners.
