Glen Lyon Ultra Marathon
The Glen Lyon Ultra Marathon is a challenging 31-mile trail race set in the remote and scenic Perthshire hills of Glen Lyon and Glen Lochay, Scotland. The course features approximately 3,500 feet of elevation gain and includes a loop around Loch Lyon with six river crossings, ensuring wet feet early on. Runners then ascend into Glen Lochay, navigating both high and low-level routes before returning over the hills to finish in Glen Lyon.
About 85% of the route is off-road, with some tarmac sections, demanding careful foot placement due to uneven terrain. The race offers multiple water stations and a halfway drop bag point. Participants must carry mandatory kit for safety, and camping is available nearby before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
