About Hour To The Tower
Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh plays host to this distinctive one-hour timed trail race on 6 September 2026. Organised by West Edinburgh Running Club, Hour to the Tower challenges runners to complete as many laps as possible within the time limit, with each loop covering approximately 1 kilometre and around 60 metres of ascent. The mixed terrain route climbs from the base of the hill through grass and woodland trails to the historic Corstorphine Hill Tower before descending back to the start.
The format rewards both speed and pacing, as runners can begin another lap at any point before the one-hour cut-off expires. Whether tackling it competitively or as a personal endurance test, the race suits runners of all abilities and offers a memorable challenge in one of Edinburgh's well-known green spaces.
