About the race
The Scottish 6 Days will mark its 50th anniversary in Highland Perthshire from Sunday 1st August until Friday 6th August 2027. The event includes five days of forest competition and a sprint day in the middle of the week, with the event centre based in Aberfeldy.
Perthshire terrain mixes fast runnable plantations and more technical Highland ground. Maps will include conifer plantations, native woodland, open moorland and areas of rocky ground, producing physical orienteering where precise navigation is important. The organisers plan a variety of courses including competitive age class courses, colour-coded courses and string courses for younger participants and families.
Planned venues across the week include Deuchary Hill, Dowally, Grandtully, Tulloch and Tullochroisk. The programme notes that Deuchary Hill will host a long race with a World Ranking Event application, while Tulloch will be used for sprint racing.
The event is presented as a holiday-based meeting with rest day activities and a planned social programme. Nearby towns such as Dunkeld, Aberfeldy and Pitlochry offer local accommodation and access to regional attractions including museums, historic sites and outdoor activities like bungee and zip park experiences and mountain biking at Comrie Croft. Entries open on 1st December 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
