Run The Blades
Description
Run the Blades is a unique trail running event with three distances (10K, half marathon, 50K ultra) that is held exclusively within Whitelee Windfarm. Run the Blades is a totally unique event being held exclusively within the UK’s largest windfarm, Whitelee Windfarm (and it’s only 20 minutes from Glasgow)! With three distances (10K, half marathon and 50K ultramarathon) Run the Blades makes trail running accessible for runners of all fitness and experience levels.
All three distances offer a challenging course across mixed moorland and forests past wind turbines that tower 140 metres above the trail. Fully supported by Whitelee Countryside Ranger Service you’ll maybe chance upon one of the hundreds of species of birds, adders or deer that live within the boundaries of the wind farm. On a clear day you’ll be able to see Glasgow and in the distance even the coast of Northern Ireland.

Did anyone else see this short film at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in Glasgow or Edinburgh? It's an awesome story about a Nepali ultra runner and her journey to the Salomon 110km Pirineu 2015 in Spain. Highly recommend a watch for runners of all distances, she's a true inspiration: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/miraraifilm/186150808?autoplay=1
