Scotland Coast to Coast
Scotland Coast to Coast is a 100-mile multisport endurance route across the Scottish Highlands combining trail running, road and off-road cycling, and a short kayak stage. The event is offered in two formats: a single-day continuous challenge or a two-day option with an overnight stop and a day 1 finish at Invergarry. Registration takes place on the Friday before the event at Cawdor Castle.
The overall course comprises:
- 21 miles on foot (34 km)
- 78 miles by bike (125 km)
- 1 mile kayak (1.6 km)
The route passes notable locations including Cawdor Castle, Loch Ness, Glen Coe and Glen Nevis, and the final half marathon section uses part of the West Highland Way. The kayak stage uses sit-on-top kayaks provided by the organisers and is normally paddled in pairs, with the front-of-field allowed to go solo.
The course is fully waymarked with orange arrows and supported by private mountain safety staff, on-course medical teams of paramedics and doctors, and mechanical assistance. Organiser services include bag movements between event locations, bookable bus transfers, and limited bike hire. Cut-off times are enforced for safety and are based on sunset; participants who miss cut-offs will be transported forward to the finish.
