HomeLittle France Popular Routes
We have a few routes that we do often and we have included descriptions and route maps below. This allows you to head out yourselves should you wish and also might be of interest to the other UoE Jog Scotland groups, if they are in the area.
Please don't think these are all the routes we do or that you have to be able to run this far to come with us, this is just a sample and all groups are graded meaning different speeds and distances. There is bound to be one that suits you! If you are a total beginner check out our Schedules page to see when our next Beginner's Group starts.
| Name | Distance & Description | Route Map (opens in a new window) |
|---|---|---|
| Peffermill Route | Unspectacular 3 mile loop, ideal for beginners. All on tarmac. | Peffermill |
| Walled Garden | 3 miles with a large proportion on trails, can be extended by re-running trail loop. Can be muddy. | Walled Garden |
| Inch-Craigmillar | Another 3 mile loop ideal for beginners, with a section on trails. | Inch-Craigmillar |
| Cat Run | 4.4 miles with a testing hill, again a proportion of trails. Can get quite wet. | Cat Run |
| Drum Estate | 4.5 miles through the Drum Estate. | Drum Estate |
| Innocent Railway | 4.7 miles with a section in Holyrood Park. The innocent railway section does appear to get longer every time. | Innocent Railway |
| Meadowhead Farm | 5 miles, everybody’s favourite, 2.5 miles uphill and finish with 2.5 miles downhill. | Meadowhead Farm |
| Ellens Glen | 5.16 miles, follows along the banks of the Burdiehouse Burn. Highly versatile when dealing with mixed abilities doing different distances. | Ellens Glen |
| Mirror Run | 5.5 miles mostly tarmac with a section going through the golf course, otherwise quite urban. | Mirror Run |
| Braids Hill | 6.89 miles, with the long climb up Braids Hill. Spectacular views and great excuse to stop for a breather. | Braids Hill |
| Hermitage | 7 miles, one of the most scenic routes we do. | Hermitage |
| Hunter's Bog | 7.35 miles, hilly route that takes in a good part of Holyrood Park. Going up Hunter’s bog is the highlight. | Hunter's Bog |
