Ardgartan Trail Race
Ardgartan Trail Race is scheduled for 6th February 2027 at Ardgartan Forest Park, Ardgartan, Arrochar. The event is a roughly 21 mile loop of the Ardgartan Peninsula with about 3,500 ft of ascent. The route is approximately 90% off road and includes some tarmac sections, forestry trails, an open hill section across to Lochgoilhead, a climb up to the Rest And Be Thankful, and a final downhill to the finish. The course features hills and multiple waterfalls. Route details may change due to forestry works.
There are two staffed water stations at around 7 miles and 13 miles for safety given the time of year. Runners must carry mandatory kit at all times; this will be confirmed in the pre-race briefing sent roughly three weeks before the event. Mandatory items include a full-size foil blanket, a working mobile phone with the race control number, trail food, a means to carry water, and a small first aid kit for cuts, bumps and blisters. Muling is not permitted.
Parking at Ardgartan Car Park is limited and runners are asked to car share where possible; additional parking information will be provided in the race briefing. Entry fees are listed at £45/47 and UTMB points are not applicable. The organiser’s refund policy includes a 30 day cooling-off period with a £15 administration fee, a 50% refund option after 30 days up to 12 weeks before the race, and no refund within 0-12 weeks.
