New ultra run event for Perthshire

Written by Fiona Outdoors September 27 2013 —

The Smartwool Tigh nam Bodach Ultra Run will take place in Glen Lyon, Perthshire on November 30, 2013. This event is a 50K route on rugged, remote trails. There are a few river crossings so expect to get wet feet (and maybe thighs!).

images-34This inaugural event will be limited to 100 participants as an experimental race but it will be fully marshalled with aid stations. There will also be a Smartwool Sock Stationthat will provide a fresh pair of Merino socks half way round to ease cold, wet feet.

This ultra run is also part of the Inov8 Tri-Trail series so points will count towards the overall standings.

Race starts at first light, which is 8:30am. Catering will be provided by the race organisers and a special event T-shirt is included.

To enter see Smartwool Ultra run (and to see a list of mandatory kit). And on Facebook.
