Adventure · Trail running
The same routes, half the days. A vest instead of a pack. A shower and a pint at the end of every stage, and a bed that isn't a bothy floor. We plan supported multi-day trail-running holidays — starting in Scotland, expanding across Europe — for people who'd rather run 30 km than walk 15.
Why run one
Most long-distance trails — Scottish, Alpine, Mediterranean, Japanese — were laid out on old droving, pilgrim or coaching routes. The gradients are gentle, the surfaces are mostly runnable, and the underfoot is almost always a good compromise between speed and interest. That makes them, quietly, some of the best supported-run venues anywhere.
The catch — as any runner who's tried to plan one solo knows — is the logistics. Small hotels don't want a soaked runner at 4 pm asking to check in early. Bag transfer companies want to know your kit is at reception by 8 am. Nobody wants to run 42 km on day three because the only bed in the village was full.
That's what we sort out, in whichever country the trail runs through. You bring the trainers. We book the beds, move the bags, and set the daily stages so you can actually enjoy the running.
Trails to run
Every trail is walked and re-walked before we open it. We'd rather do four brilliantly than forty badly.

How to run one
Kit
You want more capacity than a race vest, less than a hiking pack. A 10–15 litre running vest with two soft flasks, a waterproof shell, a light insulator, phone, snacks, and £20. Anything else goes in the transferred bag.
Fuelling
Gels work for a race. Over four consecutive days, they don't. Aim for a proper cooked breakfast, a mid-morning café stop, a picnic lunch, and a pub dinner. Carry gels and bars as a top-up, not a plan.
Legs
If you're not a habitual multi-day runner, ask us to build a rest or half-day into the middle. Day three is where trips fall apart — one afternoon in a beach café is the cheapest performance upgrade there is.
Weather
Scottish drizzle, Alpine afternoon storms, Corsican heat: the answer is the same. A proper waterproof shell (Gore-Tex or equivalent, not a race-legal pouffe) lives in your vest whatever the forecast.
From the journal
Richard Newsome has been looking after bothies on the West Highland Way for 12 years. This once meant carrying 42 glass bottles four and a half miles back to his car. He moved to Scotland because of the West Highland Way and has never once walked into a bothy and thought about quitting.
Sara and Marco walked the West Highland Way in June — their first long trail, seven days, almost nobody else around. On day two, by a quiet stretch of Loch Lomond, Marco said he couldn't really kneel on the rocks, and showed her the ring anyway.
A slow afternoon between Elie and Crail, where the wind drops and the coastline lets you catch up with yourself.
