The first long Scottish hill race of the season and a good wake up call.

The race starts easily enough with straightforward forest track running. At the end of the forest trail, there's a steep pull up to hit rougher ground that takes you to a very steep descent into Glen Ample.

Once across Glen Ample you've finally reached the base of the hill proper. A steep heathery slog up Beinn Each then gets you onto the start of the fantastic undulating ridge out to Stuc a`Chroin and back.

The crux of the route is the climb back out of Glen Ample on the return leg, and then you've still got a deceptively long run out along the forest tracks.

Very well supported race, with countless water stations, and flagged all the way to the summit and back.
