The Adventure
Trip Overview
Fitness & Experience
Fitness & Experience You should be a regular runner with some experience of trails and hills, comfortable spending several hours outdoors on uneven terrain. You don’t need to be a fast runner, but you should be prepared for sustained climbs, descents and three consecutive running days. We’ll move at a supportive group pace, walking steeper climbs and taking regular breaks. Previous mountain running experience is helpful, although technical climbing experience is not required. If you’re unsure whether the trip suits your fitness or experience, please contact us before booking.
