Glen Lyon Ultra Marathon

Glen Lyon Dam sets the tone before you even start: remote hills, toilets, Friday camping, and the sense that you are well away from easy options. The Glen Lyon Ultra Marathon runs through the "stunning remote Glen Lyon" in the Perthshire hills, with Loch Lyon and Glen Lochay giving the route its shape rather than any town-centre fanfare. This is a tough foot race with a practical edge, the kind where the briefing and "mandatory kit" matter.
