Description
Pace yourself across the stunning southern lands of Scottish on the 130-mile (215km) long distance trail of the John Muir Way.
From Helensburgh on the west coast to Dunbar on the east coast, many spectacular sights are dotted along the way.
Runners will glide along the mixed route of canals, old railway tracks, quiet roads and grassy paths.
The trail follows great scenery, such as views of the freshwater Loch Lomond, which is considered the boundary between the lowlands and the highlands.
Some of the most scenic sections are saved until the end, such as the dramatic cliffs, sandstone arches and waterfalls.
The quality surface rolls and winds the southern stretches of Scotland with a few steeper sections that present rewarding challenges.
Each day presents a similar number of miles to complete, ranging from 24 miles to 29 miles. So the 5-day trail run is not for everyone. If you have a good level of fitness and stamina, then this exhilarating trip is for you.
Get in touch now to reserve your place along Scotland’s great John Muir Way running trail on a 5-day trip through some fantastic scenery.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
