Glen Lyon Ultra Marathon

The route starts with a loop of Loch Lyon with around 6 river crossings which means your feet will get wet. On completing the loop of Loch Lyon you will pass through the start/finish area to collect your drop bag. The route then climbs the hill over into the remote Glen Lochay were you will complete a high and low level route before climbing back over the hill and down into the finish in Glen Lyon. The route is 85% off road with a middle section of tarmac. When off road, attention should be given to foot placement as trip/slips and falls have been the main cause of patching runners up in the past. There are several water crossings in the first 8 miles where your feet will get wet. In the event that the water crossings are in spate from heavy rain a route B will used.
