Stage two starts with an extremely challenging four mile ascent from the Strathmiglo changeover all the way to the top of West Lomond then on over Bishop Hill to Kinnesswood.
The next pair of runners takes over at Kinnesswood and climbs over Whitecraigs and Bishop Hill again before making the long run to Maspie Den in Falkland where the sixth team member takes over and heads back up Maspie Den to Craigmead then on to the summit of East Lomond.
A tricky descent then follows on the way back to Falkland for the finish.
