Cairngorms Ultra Trail race

A brand new ultra trail race based at Mar Lodge near Braemar from High Terrain Events.

The event centre will offer toilets, camping, refreshments and parking with a backdrop of Mar Lodge cared for by National Trust for Scotland.

The route is predominantly following good tracks and trails into the heart of the Cairngorms on a 64km circular route.

Following stunning pine and glen scenery in Glen Derry, the route then follows the Lairig an Laoigh pass to the Fords Avon. The trail then swings east down Glen Avon below the mighty Ben Avon to the scenic waterfalls at the Linn of Avon. The route then turns south past Loch Builg and over the shoulder of Culardoch before descending to the scented pine forests of Invercauld. A quiet track beside the River Dee returns the runners to Mar Lodge.

The race delivery will adhere to the ongoing guidance from Scottish Government and the relevant sport governing bodies in relation to Covid-19
