Deeside Night Race Series - Race #2 - Tarland Trails
Race #2 of the Deeside Night Race Series delivered everything you want from a winter night race. Three loops of Tarland Trails brought steep climbs, fast bermed descents and relentless turns, all raced under head torch alone. With just five seconds separating first and second, it was a flat-out, high-intensity battle that proved the series is very much heating up — even in the dark.
Deeside Night Race Series - Race #1 - Cnoc Dubh
There’s a certain romance to Scottish night races, and Race #1 of the Deeside Night Race Series at Cnoc Dubh had it in spades. From a £1 entry and a Victorian hotel start line to head torches cutting through the forest darkness, this was hill running at its most honest — cold, communal and quietly unforgettable.
Deeside Night Race Series 25/26
The Deeside Runners Night Race Series is back, bringing with it all the things that make winter hill racing so good — bogs, ice, questionable footing and well-earned post-race refreshments. For the second year running, Out & Back are proud to support the series alongside Moonlight Mountain Gear and VJ Sport, with opportunities for racers to test head torches and shoes across the events, plus prizes for the overall series winners.
On The Course: Bennachie Ultra
Last Saturday, we headed out towards Aberdeen’s most well-known hill for the Bennachie Ultra. With O&B & TGRC team members, familiar faces, and many more runners tackling the 50k route, we caught some pre-race moments, the start scenes, and picked up the front runners at Millstone Hill and Mither Tap before descending to the finish line to catch the podium spots filling up.
Chamonix + UTMB with NIKE ACG
After an unforgettable first night at UTMB, we followed the race from Chamonix to Les Houches and on to Courmayeur, cheering on the leaders through heavy rain, snow, and steep trails.

Salomon Ultra Glide 3 - Trail Run
On a glorious (almost) Summer evening, we headed out towards Banchory, Aberdeenshire, where we linked up with Salomon on the trails to put the Ultra Glide 3 to the test with a solid group of runners.
Salomon’s max cushioned trail runner is perfect for long days on the trails delivering comfort from the first mile to the last, and although we were only out there for 11.5km through forestry tracks and some gravel paths, it was great to get a feel for the shoe on varying terrain.
