5 day trail running holiday

Want to discover the very best of the Scottish Highlands on foot? Join us for a running adventure exploring the finest trails as we take a journey of 145km over 5 days, taking in some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland has to offer.

This trail running holiday is a 5-day point-to-point trip that covers the very best trails from 7-12th of August, taking us from the southeastern corner of the Cairngorms in Glen Clova, all the way up to the remote and wild Fisherfields in the northwest Highlands. We’ll make our way north via the many glacial valleys that carve their way through the Highlands of Scotland, using historic drovers’ roads and stalker’s tracks to link mountain passes and great glens. Along the way, you’ll discover some of the best high mountain scenery to be found anywhere in Scotland.

Each day, you’ll run with an experienced guide who’ll navigate your team to success. Your luggage will be taken care of by our support driver, who’ll also transport our running team to and from the trails each day - so all you need to focus on is enjoying the run and making memories!

This is a small group running tour with a maximum of seven guests, so you can get to know your new running buddies as we traverse the Scottish Highlands.
