MTC SELKIE
The MTC SELKIE is a one-day ultra running event on 5 June 2027. The route runs from the Eagle Hotel in Dornoch to Inver Caravan Park near Dunbeath and is listed as 42 miles in the route details. It is Day 8 of the nine-day MTC SCOTIA End to End Challenge and is part of the Mount to Coast End to End series. Competitor fields are limited to 20 entries plus an allowance of 20 SCOTIA competitors, for a maximum of 40 starters.
The race uses preset cut-offs based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph. Competitors who fall below this minimum are warned and may be withdrawn. Checkpoints are placed along the route with food and drink items provided; the event is cup-free so runners must bring a reusable cup.
Logistics, kit and entries
Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, provided route maps, compass or GPS device, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and an emergency food pack. Organisers supply a tracking device with real-time monitoring and an SOS function.
Entry fees are listed as £90 for the standard entry and £155 for a Plus Race Package that includes a race shirt and a hi-viz jacket (clothing orders must be completed at least four weeks before the event). All fees are non-refundable; a personal cancellation insurance option is offered at checkout. Finishers receive a SELKIE medal and male and female champions receive bespoke trophies.
