VERY HARD
Ben Chonzie and Maell na Seide and Carn Chois from Comrie
27.8km · 1,076m climb · Loop
Ben Chonzie is one of the gentlest Munros to reach, so you get a genuine 931m summit and miles of empty Perthshire hill for a fraction of the technical effort of most.
Dog friendly

16.8km · 508m climb · Loop

VERY HARD
Glen Lyon Ultra
50.4km · 928m climb · Loop

EXPERT
The Lawers Range Twice: Five Munros Out and Back
33.2km · 2,904m climb · Out & back
Ten Munro summits in one outing on the highest ground in the southern Highlands, and you cross An Stuc's eroded crux four times. There is no harder day on this site.

About running in Highland Perthshire

Munros without the crowds: Ben Chonzie, the Lawers range and a 50km ultra round Glen Lyon, plus a 17km woodland-and-hill loop out of Comrie.

Four routes, in four steps. The Comrie Hills loop is 17km of forest track and open hillside with regular buses to the village. Ben Chonzie from Comrie via Glen Lednock is 28km and 1,076m of climb over broad, grassy Munro ground where the navigation matters more than the terrain. The Lawers Range twice — five Munros out and back, 33km and 2,904m — is one of the biggest days on the site and summer or autumn only. The Glen Lyon Ultra is 50km of glen track and hill road, less technical but a long day with no easy way out once you're committed. Beyond Comrie you'll need a car. Every route has a free GPX download and an honest TRP Grade.
