The famous Helmsdale hill race sorts out the men from the boys
Creag Bun-ullidh is the hill known as the Helmsdale Rock where the hill racers test their endurance. This is an event of approx. 5 - 6 kilometres in distance and is run from the village to the golf course and then on to a rough hill track.

You do not need to register for this event as you can turn up on Games Day and decide whether to take part in the Hill Race or not. There is a fee for competing of £3.00.
