The Grand Tour of Skiddaw

To enter you must first Log In or Register your Details with SiEntries. Two days of guided trail running in Torridon.Arriving in Glen Torridon for the first time is an unforgettable experience. As you round the bend at the head of the glen you are struck by the sight of Liathach rising over a kilometre in height above the sea with its steep rocky flanks and jagged summit ridges.These mountains look more like what you would expect to find in the Rockies or Alps than Scotland. At first the idea of running in this terrain seems foolish, but what you then discover is the incredible network of trails that span the high mountains like a web, weaving around the high ground and linking together the cols and glens in a network that is crying out to be explored. The rocky nature of the ground means that for the most part, these narrow single track trails give a perfect running surface and in places include large areas of exposed sandstone slabs.This weekend is a celebration of some of Scotland&#x27;s finest trails. We will run together seeking out the best routes and most stunning scenery. With long and short course options available we will find a route to suit everyone.
