Fling Training Camp 25th-27th March 2022
Over the last 9 years the training weekends have proved very enjoyable and beneficial to a lot of runners (especially those just coming into the sport or participating in their first Fling). They are informal and fun and are great for runners to come together and relax, get to know each other, talk about running, learn about running and the Highland Fling, and of course do a bit of running.
Location: By The Way Hostel & Campsite, Lower Station Road, Tyndrum FK20 8RY.
Places limited to 35 runners (with waiting list).
