Glamaig Hill Race
The Glamaig Hill Race is a challenging mountain running event held on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, in memory of David Shepherd. Covering 4.5 miles with an elevation gain of 2,500 feet, the race starts from the Sligachan Hotel. Recognized as one of the toughest races in Scottish hill-running, participants are required to wear or carry windproof and waterproof body covers due to variable weather conditions.
The event is organized by the Skye and Lochalsh Running Club and attracts experienced runners. Entries open in April and close in July, with a modest entry fee. The race emphasizes safety and preparation for adverse weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
