Created by Robin Downie in memory of legendary mountain guide Martin Moran—both of Lochcarron—to support the Martin Moran Foundation, the round traverses 84 kilometres and 17 wild, iconic summits across Torridon—virtually in Gairloch’s back garden. The route takes on over 8,400 metres of ascent across rugged yet beautiful mountain terrain.

In this talk, Siobhan Killingbeck will share the story of her experience running the Martin Moran Round. She will reflect on the scenic highs and boggy lows of the route, as well as the vital community of friends and family who helped her complete this challenge.
