Description

Start and finish at Marischal College in Aberdeen city centre and run over the five highest hills within the city boundary. These are; Hill of Marcus, Tyrebagger Hill, Elrick Hill, Brimmond Hill and Kingshill. The route can be made in to a loop taking in some of the best trail running in the area with superb views of Aberdeen and the surrounding countryside. The loop can be done in either direction and use whichever route to, from and between the hills as preferred. There's a mix of fast road running, forest tracks and some steeper single track sections on the hills. It's an easily accessible route with the start point in the city and most of the route finding is straightforward between the hills so it's an ideal challenge to try.
