A 125KM COASTAL MOUNTAIN ULTRA IN THE WEST HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND

This is the Knoydart Peninsula, Scotland. It’s the untamed and remote jewel of the West Highlands reachable only by sea or on foot.

With plenty of ascents, you’ll scale rocky mountains separated by broad glens, rivers and high lochs. You will look out over 85 square miles of rugged grandeur bookended to the north and south by the vast sea lochs, Nevis and Hourn (Heaven and Hell).

In a day you might see Golden and Sea Eagles overhead and Red Deer patrolling the land. On the coast, watch for otters, dolphins and even Minky Whale.

Join us in a location locked away and protected by nature for the ultimate ultra running experience in Scotland. Enter as a solo, or share the experience as a team of 2, 3, or 4 to battle it out in the team clan race.

This is the Highland Ultra, follow us to adventure.
