Terrain Trails
Take on this amazing 100-mile ultra across the Southern Upland Way, the longest of Scotland's Great Trails. This race has plenty to challenge even the most experienced of ultra runners, with lots of climbs and descents throughout.
Beginning in St John's Town of Dalry, a picturesque village by the Water of Ken, the route heads north to Sanquhar through the Scaur Hills and then reaches Wanlockhead, Scotland's highest village. Here, runners will be faced with the 701m climb up Lowther Hill, the highest point of the Southern Upland Way.
The route will continue along the fantastic trails around the Daer Reservoir and continues past the vibrant town of Moffat. Participants will head onwards to St Mary's Loch, the largest natural loch in the Scottish Borders, and on to Traquair, turning west just shy of Traquair House, Scotland's oldest inhabited house.
Continuing through the Manor Hills, runners will cross the River Tweed before reaching the race finish in Galashiels.
