Glen Ogle 33 Ultra Marathon
The Glen Ogle 33 Ultra Marathon is scheduled for 7th November 2026 and covers roughly 33 miles with about 3,000 ft of ascent in Perthshire. The event does not award UTMB points and entry fees are listed at £61/63.
The route runs from Killin to Strathyre, partly following National Cycle Route No 7 and the Rob Roy Way. It passes the village of Killin, the Falls of Dochert, climbs into the hills above Killin, crosses the Glen Ogle Viaduct, goes through Balquidder and reaches Strathyre and the Shoogly Bridge. The halfway point is at Strathyre picnic area, where a drop bag is allowed.
Checkpoints and water stations are positioned along the route, including the start in Killin, locations around 5 and 10 miles, the halfway point at 16 miles, further stations near 25 and 29 miles, and the finish at approximately 33 miles. Runners must be through the last checkpoint at the top of Glen Ogle by 4pm; the race sweeping team will have final discretion after that time.
The course is marked with yellow and black directional arrows or eco friendly marker paint and is reinforced by blue cycle route No 7 markers. There are three road crossings controlled by marshals; runners must remove earphones when approaching crossings and on specific road sections. Mandatory kit must be carried at all times and typically includes a full size foil blanket, a working mobile phone with race control number, trail food, means to carry water, and a small first aid kit. Recommended items include waterproofs, hat and gloves, extra layers and sun protection.
Registration takes place at McLaren Hall, Main Street, Killin, with registration options the night before or the morning of the race. Race rules prohibit place transfers, muling, walking poles, support runners and the use of NSAIDs during the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
