Day 01
Arrive late afternoon and settle in. Meet the team over an evening meal. Brief chat around the next days running and what to expect.

Day 02
Wake to breakfast. Warm up and head out mid-morning on the longest run you'll undertake, a short 10-15min drive to the trail head and then it is off into the valleys of the National Park. We follow the valley and pass bye Bob Scott Bothy turning towards Devils Point, beneath the mountain we take a brief stop to refuel at Corrour Bothy before making our way back. A 26.5km circular loop with minimal elevation (300m) but amazing vistas throughout. Back at base we refuel on a simple late lunch and spend the afternoon relaxing or exploring. The team and guests reconvene over dinner.

Day 03
After breakfast and a warm-up we head out for a slightly shorter but more hilly run. Approximately 20km with 600m ascent. We return back to base for a well-earned lunch. The afternoon is another chance for you to unwind at the accommodation or have a beer in the local pub ahead of the evening meal.

Day 04
A quick stretch and gentle morning run, this will be approximately 7.5km with 200m ascent and will set you up for your journey - or treat yourself to an extra hour or two in bed. The team and guests share breakfast before heading off.

We recommend car sharing where possible and are able to put you in touch with fellow guests should you be on the same or similar flights. Car parking is available at the accommodation.
