Glen Lyon Trail Race
Loch Lyon, United Kingdom • 7 Jun 2026
Event overview
The Glen Lyon Trail Race takes place in Glen Lyon, Perthshire on 7 June 2026. The course distance is 15.5 miles with about 1,500 ft of ascent. The route is 100% off road and follows a loop of Loch Lyon with around six river crossings, which means feet are likely to get wet. Runners face a steep climb shortly after the start, then an undulating course for the bulk of the route, finishing at Glen Lyon Dam. There is a water station at around 8 miles. Camping is available on the Saturday night at Glen Lyon Dam, where runners toilets are provided.
The event has a total of 150 places. Entry fees are listed as £36 (discounted) and £38 (standard). The entry price includes a race memento and a goody bag; a technical race t-shirt is an optional extra. UTMB points are listed as n/a.
