About Illuminator
The Illuminator race has been a staple in the Scottish running calendar for 10 years. Initially hosted by Firetrail Events, it’s now run by Still Going Strong Events who have continued all the features that make this a well-loved race. Although it’s a challenging race with plenty of elevation, it’s well marked and marshalled with the legendary Light Zone just before you tackle Craigendinnie Hill. Thanks to the Glen Tanar estate for allowing us to use their trails.
