Ben Ledi Uphill Only Race
This is a hill running race and also serves as the Scottish Athletics Senior and U20 Hill Running Championships. It is an uphill-only race.
The course is 5.3 km with a total ascent of 760 meters. It starts from Stank Glen (grid reference NS583103) and finishes on the summit of Ben Ledi. From the summit, competitors must make their own way back down the hill.
The race is open to anyone aged 18 or older. Only members of Scottish Athletics are eligible for the championship medals. Membership details will be checked on the day. The event date is Saturday, 11 April 2026. Online entries open on Monday, 16 February 2026 and close on Thursday, 9 April 2026. Entry fees are £12.00 for Scottish Athletics members and £15.00 for non-members.
All runners must carry mandatory safety gear: a hat, gloves, and waterproof top and bottoms. A thermal top must also be carried if the weather is bad. There are two public toilets in the Retreat Building at Forest Holidays Strathyre, located about 400 meters from the start.
Parking at the start is very limited. Organizers encourage car sharing or parking in Callander and running or cycling to the start. Tea and coffee will be available after the race from The Retreat Building upon presentation of a race number. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
