A serious undertaking for experienced endurance athletes
Three days of trail running across the Rob Roy Way, averaging 43 km per day with around 8 hours of moving time. This demands fitness, good navigation and mountain experience. The terrain mixes forest tracks, old railway paths and remote lochside trails — varied and technical enough to keep things interesting.

Cover the entire opening section in one push — through Aberfoyle, the Trossachs forests, past Loch Drunkie and Loch Venachar, through the Falls of Leny gorge and into Strathyre as dusk falls.
The shortest day but the most technical. Run the Glen Ogle railway path, descend to Killin, then tackle the demanding south shore of Loch Tay with its constant undulations through oak woodland.
The longest day. Push through Acharn and Aberfeldy, cross Wade's Bridge, and follow the River Tay before the final climb over the ridge to Pitlochry. A triumphant finish at the Festival Theatre.
