About this event
The Whiting Bay Forest Trail Race takes runners through the wooded trails of the Isle of Arran, Scotland's island gem in the Firth of Clyde. This 5-mile route winds through atmospheric forest paths where the canopy filters soft Scottish light and the earthy scent of pine mingles with sea air. The course offers a proper introduction to trail running without overwhelming newcomers — expect rooty sections, gentle climbs, and that satisfying feeling of leaves and soft ground underfoot. Being on Arran means stunning coastal views are never far away, and the island's relaxed pace makes race day feel more like a community gathering than a competition. Perfect for anyone curious about trading tarmac for trails.
