Trail Finders Head To The Cairngorms
We find out more about the Cairngorm's summertime trail festival...
It’s just four months until Trail Pursuit’s Cairngorms Trail Race Festival takes place (5-7 August 2022) and with Blair Athol's Blair Castle the stunning location, now's the time to get your summer running plans in place.
Organisers are looking for: "…bold, pioneering & adventurous trail runners to join our first ever edition. Experience the magical mountain range at our trail race festival at the historic Blair Castle."
It’s a festival that caters for everyone with a marathon, half, 10K, 5K all on offer as well as a kids 1 mile event. Organisers stress that… “All levels are welcome! From trail 5Ks to marathon, and even a mini runners 1 mile race, Trail Pursuit welcomes all levels of runner, and most importantly, anyone with a passion for the outdoors.”
But don’t forget the extra activities that make this more than just a running weekend. Across the two days you can enjoy guided yoga and breathwork classes to help you relax and unwind. There will also be inspiring athlete speakers discussing a variety of topics ranging from nutrition and fuelling and epic challenges as well as diversity and inclusion in sports.
And what's a festival without adventure movies and popcorn? Not to mention workshops, live music and festival vibes, all whilst sleeping a stone’s throw from the start line where you can enjoy time being at one with nature on the campsite.
A spokesperson at Trail Pursuit said: “We believe in equality, adventure and celebrating each other! Kick back and enjoy the festival atmosphere and be proud of what you've just achieved.”
