Staged in the grounds of the iconic Blair Atholl Castle and Estate, this brand new event has trail races from 5km right up to the 58km Full Tilt Ultra.
All respective races start at the event village before runners make their way past the front of the castle and into the forest of Diana's Grove, which features spectacularly large trees - including the tallest Japanese Larch and Red Fir in the UK.
Frome here on out, depending on your choice of race, runners either loop round past Hercules Garden and back toward the event village, fork off up the winding trails of the picturesque Glen Tilt or head toward the 1009m high summit of Ben Dearg. What trail will you take?
What else is on offer with my entry?
We believe there's so much more to a race than just the run its self. With this in mind, we have a range of activities which comes inclusive with your entry. This extends to friends and family who are with you - even if they're not running.
Expect to see pre and post race Yoga classes, access to a mix of catering experiences, a bar area, post race hot meal and live music on the Saturday night
Blair Atholl has an amazing range of accomodation on offer, however we have an option of adding on a camping pitch at the event village for just £5 a tent (please note this just includes toilet access and no shower facilities).
