The 2023 event fetaures a wider range of trail races and exciting edition of our outdoor cinema, and range of live music on the Saturday evening…
Staged within the grounds of the iconic Blair Castle on the Atholl Estate, this weekend of trail running has races from Kids, 7km right up to the 60km ‘Full Tilt Ultra’.
All respective races start at the event village based in the grounds of Blair Castle which nestles at the base of the Cairgorm national park.
From here on out, depending on your choice of race, runners either loop round past Hercules Gardens and back to the start, fork off up the winding Glen Tilt or head toward the 1009m high summit of Ben Dearg. Which trail will you take?
