Embargoed Areas

The embargoed areas are available here (or can be seen below). This includes some areas acting as reserve areas (please be aware that even if not used for JK 2026, these areas remain embargoed as they may be used for Scottish 6 Days 2027, which is also likely to include WRE races).

Additional notes for the sprint day

WRE competitors for the sprint may not enter the embargoed area or stay within the embargoed area prior to the race.

Other competitors are reminded of the principles of fair play, but we accept that some of the accommodation options chosen by them/their families for JK26 may be within the embargoed area.

On the morning of the event, all competitors must proceed straight to the Assembly area once they enter the embargo area. This applies to those arriving by public transport or parking close to the city centre. Train travel on the railway line where it passes through the embargoed area IS permitted, and the major roads around the city centre are excluded from the embargoed area.

In addition, we are aware that whilst the Perth Parkrun course is outside the embargo, the 'bad weather course' does include a section within the embargo. Whilst JK competitors should in general avoid any running activity within the embargoed area, taking part in Perth Parkrun under those circumstances will not be a reason for a competitor to declare themselves non-competitive.

Additional notes for the middle and long days

It is permitted to stay on the Forestry and Land Scotland campsite in Rannoch Forest during the JK weekend (campsite pitches are bookable here). This is only permitted during the competition weekend (the evening of Friday 3rd April is permitted). The embargo area will be updated shortly before the competition to permit use of the main entrance track and the campsite. All other terrain adjacent to the campsite will remain embargoed, and competitors must not stray beyond the bounds of the campsite into the forest.
