GLEN COE,

THE LOCATION
One of Scotland’s most
scenic and famous Highland
glens, Glen Coe is a rugged
and staggeringly beautiful
location to run in, and has
featured in films including
Skyfall and several of the
Harry Potter movies.
THE RUN
Best suited to experienced
scramblers and mountain
runners, the route shown
heads to the Aonach Eagach,
a technical and exposed
ridgeline high above the glen,
with Stob Coire nan Lochan
behind. The 52K Glen Coe
Skyline race covers some of
this terrain and is deemed
only suitable for highly
experienced competitors
– the male record was set
by Kilian Jornet in 2017.
