3 Islands Marathon Hebrides : event summary
The 3 Islands Marathon Hebrides is an officially measured and Scottish Athletics certified road marathon held in the Outer Hebrides on the west coast of Scotland. The course starts at Lochboisdale Marina on the Island of Gasay and finishes at the Dark Island Hotel on the Isle of Benbecula. The event date is 19 July 2026. The event status is Waiting List and total places were 114.
The event can be entered as a Solo runner, a Pair, or teams of three or four. There is also a Community Teams draw: individual entrants who will not run the full distance are randomly combined into teams to cover the four legs. The Community draw takes place one week before race day and has separate 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed team prizes; these teams are not separated by gender.
Solo entries have prize categories for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Male and Female and several veteran categories. There is no traditional club team prize for first three from the same club. Solo entrants who are unable to complete all four legs may convert to the Community draw and run one or two legs instead.
The race has a cut off time of 6 hours.
