The Meall A'bhuachaille Hill Race is a challenging 13km hill running event with 720m of ascent, held near Aviemore at the Badaguish Outdoor Centre. The course features a mix of forest tracks and rugged hill paths, ascending Meall a'Bhuachaille (810m), then traversing Creagan Gorm (732m) and Craiggowrie (687m) before a fast, often boggy descent back to the start.

The race offers spectacular views on clear days and includes mandatory safety gear checks. Organized by Highland Hill Runners, it fosters a competitive yet friendly atmosphere with various age and team prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
