Custom maps from Harvey maps
We are very pleased to have received our first batch of custom maps from Harvey Maps.
We now have a custom, 1:25k map of the Pentland hills that we will use on all of our courses based there which will be yours to keep if you come on a course with us.
This is an extract from the Pentland hills Ultramap. We have chosen the Harvey maps as they have a huge amount more detail than the OS maps and it is much clearer to read. The 1:25k scale makes it really easy to see the detail, essential when building confidence in your navigation.
The second map we have is a custom map of the Northern Cairngorms that we will use on our Mountain Marathon Preparation Weekend. This is a 1:40k extract from the Cairngorms British Mountain Map. We have been able to add Out Of Bounds areas and control checkpoints to replicate as closely as we can the maps you would find at the Scottish Mountain Marathon.

Latest News
On the 29th May I completed the Martin Moran Round in Torridon, in a time of 21 hours and 45 minutes, becoming the first person to repeat the round since it was created in 2022.
Just because someone puts some nice pictures on instagram and seems to do a lot of skydiving, you wouldn’t jump out of a plane with them before asking a few more questions! If you are heading into the mountains, or remote trails of Scotland, you should also have a few questions to ask when choosing a running guide.
Vision
At Trail Running Scotland we are working hard towards the vision of a vibrant community of runners, connected through shared values of health, wellbeing, personal performance and an appreciation of the wild places we choose to play in. We aim to do this by providing the highest quality of skills training and inspirational experiences.
Values
We believe:
- The environment in which we run is fundamental to our enjoyment of the sport.
- Connection with our landscape and natural history fosters a greater appreciation of our environment and therefore our impact upon it.
- Every runner has the potential to develop given the right training and motivation.
- Every runner can find their own personal version of high performance.
- Every running experience should be fun.
- The trail running community should be welcoming, inclusive and diverse.
We are proud to support The Green Runners
