MTC SELKIE : race overview
The MTC SELKIE is a single-day ultramarathon listed at approximately 42 miles. It forms Day 8 of the nine-day Mount to Coast SCOTIA series and takes competitors along a coastal route from the Eagle Hotel in Dornoch to the finish at Inver Caravan Park, Dunbeath. Competitors entering the standalone race will run alongside SCOTIA entrants when the series is staged.
Entry is limited to 20 standalone places with an additional allowance of 20 places for SCOTIA competitors, giving a maximum field of 40. Entry fees are stated as £90 for the standard entry and £155 for a Plus Race Package that includes an embroidered race shirt and a lightweight hi-viz jacket; the clothing option should be selected early to guarantee supply. All payments are non refundable, with an optional personal cancellation insurance available at checkout and a defer option for a fee of £15 up to four weeks before the event.
The event enforces time restrictions based on a minimum average speed of 4 mph; competitors who fall below this threshold may receive warnings and can be withdrawn. The organiser provides competitor tracking devices with SOS capability and issues route maps and GPX files to entrants four weeks before the event. The race is cup free; competitors must carry mandatory kit including a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, provided maps, compass or GPS, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and emergency food.
