I started Trail Running Scotland in 2017 as a way of bringing together my experience as an instructor in the mountains with my love of trail and mountain running. 

I’ve been blown away by how the business has grown beyond my expectations and have massively enjoyed all the days out on the trails with you all. 

Occasionally in life, opportunities present themselves that are too good to miss, this week has seen a big change for us as I start work at Ourea Events as their new Course Manager, based in Kendal. Ourea deliver some iconic races in the UK, including the Dragon’s Back Race and the Cape Wrath Ultra which I have enjoyed as a participant and now look forward to being involved in from the other side. 

So what about Trail Running Scotland?

Everything we have in the calendar for 2025 will go ahead as planned. 

For 2026 our excellent guide team will be available for a whole range of bespoke guiding and instructional options. We will continue as we have for the last few years to provide high quality coaching in navigation and downhill running technique as well as designing custom guided running adventures, from one to multi-day packages.
