What participants said about last year:

We've been to Blair Castle Trail Weekender from year one and can safely say it's the best weekend of trail running on the Scottish calendar.

The atmosphere was amazing. We loved having the chance to camp and film on the Friday, and yoga to finish!

The family festival element of the whole weekend is an excellent idea. All members of our family had a great time!

Really fun to have so many races on the same weekend so all my friends could participate at different levels, also the music on Saturday night.

Will definitely be there for a third year next year. We were there with 5 other family and all except 2 didn’t run in any races. We all had such a good time.

Utterly stunning weekend!
