Pre Event Info

Maroc is rounding off the spring season with a fun and sociable score event at Potarch. See how many controls you can dib in 45 minutes! There will be plenty of easy ones as well as some that are more challenging, so something for everyone. Cool down afterwards with an optional swim and then join other club members for a picnic on Potarch Green.

Don’t worry if you don’t have time to prepare a picnic as the Potarch Café will be open for eat in or take away. Details here:

Potarch Café | Ballogie Estate (ballogie-estate.co.uk)

The ticks are very active in Potarch woods. Please wear full length clothing and check for ticks after your run.

 If the main car park on the green is full, please don’t park on the road verges but use the car park on the other side of the river. Please take care when walking back over the bridge and keep children under supervision.
