Scotland Coast to Coast : Scotland Highlands multisport challenge
Scotland Coast to Coast is a 100-mile multisport route across the Scottish Highlands that combines trail running, cycling and a short kayak stage. The event is scheduled for 11 - 12 September 2027 and can be completed in either one day or over two days.
Distance components include:
- 21 miles on foot (34 km)
- 78 miles on bike (125 km)
- 1 mile kayak (1.6 km)
The course passes notable locations such as Cawdor Castle, Loch Ness, Glen Coe and Glen Nevis. The final half marathon uses part of the West Highland Way before the kayak finish. One-day participants follow a continuous sequence of run, road and off-road cycling, a mountain trek, then the kayak. Two-day participants split the route with an overnight stop around Invergarry and continue the remaining cycling and mountain section the following day.
The route is fully waymarked with bright orange arrows and supported at key locations by private mountain safety staff. Event medical cover is provided by a professional team of paramedics and doctors with vehicle and ambulance support. Organisers offer bag transfers and bookable bus transfers, and sit-on-top kayaks are provided for the paddle stage. Bike hire is available subject to availability. The course may be changed for safety or operational reasons and cut-offs are enforced; participants who miss cut-offs will be transported forward to the finish.
