Scotland Coast to Coast
Scotland Coast to Coast is a multisport, coast to coast challenge across the Scottish Highlands that combines trail running, on- and off-road cycling and a short kayak stage. The route crosses well known Highland locations including Cawdor Castle, Loch Ness, Glen Coe and Glen Nevis and finishes with a half marathon section that follows part of the West Highland Way.
The event is offered as either a one day or a two day option. Distances for the full route are:
- 21 miles on foot (34 km)
- 78 miles by bike (125 km)
- 1 mile kayak (1.6 km)
The course is fully waymarked with bright orange arrows and is supported by private mountain safety staff at key locations. Medical cover is provided by a professional event medic provider with paramedics and doctors operating from vehicles and a private ambulance. The organiser offers timed bus transfers pre and post event and will move participant bags between start, transition and finish locations.
Kayaks are provided as sit on tops and paddling is normally done in pairs; solo paddling is possible for those who arrive alone. Bike hire is available through a partner from spring 2027 subject to availability. Registration takes place at Cawdor Castle on the Friday before the event. Participants must be over 18 on the day of registration. Time based cut offs apply and participants who miss them will be transported forward to the finish.
