Join us for a trail Running holiday in Wester Ross, which you will never forget. With 70k of technical, mountainous terrain (and at least 6000 meters of ascent. The runs will be guided by expert trail runners and qualified mountain leaders over three days incorporating some of Scotland's most beautiful terrain and several munros. This will be our fifth time in this part of Scotland and we love it!
You’ll be staying in the excellent Torridon Hostel, close to Loch Torridon, (one of our favourites in the UK) from Wednesday to Sunday. There’s also a chance to taste some of Scotland’s finest whiskys and to swim in rivers, which will take your breath away.
If you’re a non running partner, you are also welcome along, as there is lots besides to do including walks, salmon fishing, kayaking on Loch Torridon, whisky tasting or mountain biking. It is possible to catch glimpses of the northern lights here, if you are lucky.
