Glenmore 24 Trail Race

Event overview

Glenmore 24 is a 12/24-hour trail race held in Glenmore Forest near Loch Morlich, Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands. The event takes place on 5-6 September 2026. Entry is available for both 12-hour and 24-hour options and the organiser sets a maximum field size.

Course and facilities

The route is a loop of 4 miles with about 400 ft of ascent per loop. The loop starts at The Hayfield and follows off-road forest trails past Loch Morlich. There is a water stop around the 2-mile point and a short hill between miles 2 and 3. In the final hour there is an option to run a small 400 m loop; all 400 m loops are measured and recorded with a measuring wheel. If a 4-mile lap is started but not completed within the event time, that distance will not be recorded.

The Hayfield is used as a runners welfare area. Aid stations can be set up around the perimeter for crews to service on each lap. Motorhomes and campervans have allocated hard-standing areas and other vehicles are directed to roadside parking.

Rules, support and kit

Support crew are allowed but must remain in the start-finish area; 12-hour entrants may have one crew member and 24-hour entrants may have two. The organiser issues mandatory and recommended kit lists; mandatory items include a foil blanket, water container, food, a working mobile phone with race control number, a small first aid kit and a race vest. The use of NSAIDs during the race is prohibited. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
