All routes will be marked and marshalled. Under 12 Males and Females 2.5km; Under 14 Males and Females 2.8km; Under 16 Males and Females 5.6km, Under 19 Females 5.6km, Under 19 Males 8.4km. The courses are suitable for hill shoes or trainers, but not for spikes.

Further junior league races will be held at Ben Lomond (May 12) and Menstrie (September 2). The Lomonds of Fife and Ben Lomond races are selection races for juniors born in 1995 and 1996 to represent Scotland at the International Youth Cup, to be held in Ireland on 24 June.
