If you are in the area it is fine for a quick blast, although I wouldn't go out of your way. Short trail with a nice jumpy section near the end (lots of small doubles and table tops). You can do part loops quite easily as it is a sort of a figure of 8. No facilities nearby other than a toilet block.
I haven't been for a year or two so can't comment on current conditions.
Currently likely to be an ice cube. As above, it's one to try if you're in the area, certainly not worth travelling any distance to get there
Runway is currently closed until sometime in February I think. That's the jumpy bit at the end and the bit that's worth looping around.
It's about the same time/distance from me to Glentress so I only go as it's closer for my cousin. Even at that we meet at GT more often!
As mentioned it's not bad for a loop if you're in the area but I certainly wouldn't travel there with the Runway closed.
Yeah, Runway is a fairly large part of the trail, it's not a glentress or similiar where you can lose a section and still have a respectable ride.
It's not a bad ride at all though, I like it- need to get back there. But it's not a standout. From Edinburgh, Glentress and Innerleithen are closer, and Comrie Croft isn't much further and is brilliant, so it suffers from the Ae Effect.
if your wanting smooth non-technical try Callender Estates trails behind falkirk wheel, if your wanting something more try the North Third res loop, or if frosty (some damp sections) go up Dumyat, from Bridge of Allan.
