Location: Argyll and Bute, Scotland

Embark on a unique summit adventure to Na Maoilean in Argyll and Bute, offering a challenging 9.4km run through the rugged Scottish landscape. While not the most dramatic of peaks, this route provides a rewarding experience with 342m of ascent over often indistinct paths and boggy ground once you leave the paved sections. Expect a true taste of wild running, where preparation for changeable weather and robust navigation skills are essential.

This run is ideal for those seeking a genuine off-road challenge, perhaps as part of fell running training or for experienced runners looking to explore less-trodden Scottish hills. Its remote feel and demanding terrain ensure a satisfying workout and a strong sense of accomplishment, far from the madding crowd, within the beautiful surroundings of Argyll and Bute.
