Glencoe is well-known for its mountain summits, Bidean nam Bian and the mighty Aonach Eagach Ridge, but there’s more to the Glen than those dramatic skylines you’ve often heard of. Our trail network is vast and suitable for all abilities with further possibilities stretching into Lochaber. This trail running camp is for anyone and everyone, beginner to elite. To enjoy the great Scottish outdoors with like-minded others, whilst learning a little about the landscapes and natural beauty alongside the strength and conditioning required for longer trail runs within it. It’s also for those who need a restorative break within an award-winning estate full of nature that nurtures the soul.
Learn & explore with local mountain athlete, Brian.
Enjoy exclusive use of the Woodlands Glencoe estate. You will run from our door, out into the mountains and from this magnificent base take part in strength and mobility sessions, as well as participate in open group discussions about route choice, navigation and nutrition. There will be speciality coffee available, delicious baked snacks and each evening, a feast of home-cooked food shared with some wine and lots of smiles and conversation. The best way to reflect back on an adventurous day on the trails.

None of our meets, guided runs or any run are about competition.
Although we’ll discuss things like efficiency and how to build a better running engine, we will always run together. Our little community of trail runners will be an inclusive one, and everyone will feel welcome.
In situations where there are a large group of runners, there will always be a guide at the front, and back of the group.
