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.

Salomon Ultra Glide 3 - Trail Run

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.

A Morning at Pitfichie with Nnormal

On a misty Sunday morning, we joined The Green Run Club and trail running powerhouse Nnormal for an unforgettable run through the rugged trails of Pitfichie. We put the Nnormal Tomir to the test over 15km of forest paths and granite hilltops, racking up 460m of elevation. Despite the clag, the stoke was high, proving once again that the best runs are the ones shared.

Aberdeen and surrounding areas had been hit with some decent snow which, paired with a cold snap, had lasted around a week, but with a big thaw looming the following week, we decided to head out west to Pitfichie (about 20 miles from Aberdeen) for a trail run.

On Sunday we headed out to Bennachie - a range of hills in Aberdeenshire, 20 miles from Out & Back. Mither Tap is the peak that stands out the most visually, complete with its Iron Age Fort, summiting it acts as almost a rite of passage for the people of Aberdeen and surrounding areas.
