About the event
Blair Castle Trail Weekender
We're excited to bring to you the second edition of Blair Castle Trail Weekender on the 4th & 5th of June 2022.
Staged within the grounds of the iconic Blair Castle on the Atholl Estate, this weekend of trail running has races from 7km right up to the 60km 'Full Tilt Ultra'.
All respective races start at the event village based in the grounds of Blair Castle which nestles at the base of the Cairgorm national park.
From here on out, depending on your choice of race, runners either loop round past Hercules Gardens and back to the start, fork off up the winding Glen Tilt or head toward the 1009m high summit of Ben Dearg. Which trail will you take?

Organiser
Outsider Events is an Edinburgh based events company, creating events and outdoor experiences that we'd like to attend ourselves.
Focussing primarily on cycling and trail running events, we strongly believe there's so much more to an event than pinning on a number, giving it #CENSOR# for leather (though there are definitely times for this) and heading home.
We aim to look beyond the finish line and incorporate an innovative approach to our event management that includes not only the racer but spectators, friends and family too.
