Glamaig Hill Race

The Glamaig Hill Race is a challenging 4.5-mile hill running event held on the Isle of Skye, starting from the Sligachan Hotel. With an ascent of 2,500 feet, it is known as one of the toughest races in Scottish hill running. The race is a short Category A event, requiring all participants to carry windproof body cover due to Skye's unpredictable weather, with waterproof gear recommended.

The event honors David Shepherd and is organized by the Skye and Lochalsh Running Club. Course records include Finlay Wild's 44:27 and Jill Stephen's 56:09, both set in 2018. The entry fee is £5. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
