Ben Ledi Uphill Only Race

Scottish Athletics Senior and U20 Hill Running Championships Ben Ledi Uphill Only Race

The Ben Ledi Uphill Only Race is a hill running competition organized by Scottish Athletics. The course covers a distance of 5.3 km with a total ascent of 760 m. The race begins at Stank Glen and concludes at the summit of Ben Ledi. Upon reaching the finish line at the summit, participants are responsible for making their own way back down the hill.

Registration takes place at the race start, where a tent or vehicle is provided for kit storage. Because the event takes place in a mountainous environment, safety regulations require all runners to carry specific kit, including a hat, gloves, and waterproof tops and bottoms. In the event of poor weather conditions, a thermal top may also be required.

The event serves as the Scottish Athletics Senior and U20 Hill Running Championships. While the race is open to all participants aged 18 or older, championship medals are reserved for members of Scottish Athletics. Public toilets are located in the Retreat Building at the Forest Holidays resort, approximately 400 m from the start.

Parking at the venue is very limited, particularly at the Bochastle and Ben Ledi car parks. Participants are encouraged to use alternative transport methods, such as cycling from Callander or car sharing. After the event, tea and coffee are available at the Retreat Building for runners who present their race number. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
