The Ultra course spans a grueling yet rewarding 63 kilometers, winding through rugged terrain that showcases the natural beauty of Aberfoyle's forests and hills. Participants will encounter diverse trails ranging from gentle woodland paths to steep ascents, providing an exhilarating test for those looking to push their limits.
