This was my first trail race and it was a lot harder than I expected. We were lucky as a couple of weeks before there was heavy snow, and the week after severe weather alerts for the whole country.
Unaware of what a trail race is I did not aim for a specific time, just walk as less as possible. I had not run a race with a backpack before and it was inconvenient, especially at the start.
The route in time lapse:
The part where it is very shaky, it is either uphill or the ground not smooth and my pace is random.
At the end you get a medal and a buff
The route on the map
The elevation
Overall :
Landscape : 8/10It is a beautiful mountain and the route goes through all the places a half marathon can go
Non Repeating Route : 9/10 Starts and finishes at the same spot and there is only one place that you visit again.
Difficulty : 7/10 (as a trail race)
Easy to visit : 10/10 Really an hour from Edinburgh
Easy to participate : 10/10
Facilities/Organization : 10/10
Will do it again : YES. Will have better training though
