Overview

Hill running circuit around Glenshee ski station on the compact piste snow, run at sunset and into the winter night. Short (6.5km) and long (11.5km) courses for range of abilities. Designed as a challenging but fun event. You can run it as an opportunity to simply experience the challenge of the snowy hills at night or as a fierce mountain competitor chasing the trophy! Participants must have done sufficient training and have an optimal level of health and physical condition, plus experience of undertaking activities in mountain conditions. Loop 1: 6 km 500m climb, light green arrows mark part of the course that will be dependent on ground conditions. Loop 2: 5.5km 450m climb. We are confident that we can go ahead with full or patchy snow cover. With the course being held in the ski station we can provide enough resources to make it safe to run in challenging conditions but the weather will be closely monitored to ensure it will be a safe event. Participants will be notified in the event of cancellation for bad weather.

This event is part of Snow Running.
