Ultra Tour of Arran
The Ultra Tour of Arran is a two day, supported ultramarathon around the Isle of Arran covering 60 miles (97 km). The route crosses a variety of surfaces including coastal paths, boardwalks, forest tracks, glens and mountain terrain, and passes notable features such as Goatfell and the Bog of Doom.
The event is fully waymarked and staffed at key locations. Support includes staffed pit stops, a sweeper service to move participants who withdraw, and an on‑site professional medical team. Participants receive a finisher medal and a Rat Rag at registration. Registration and tracker collection take place in Brodick at the Event Village, and the satellite tracker must be collected before the event and returned afterwards.
Mandatory kit is required and checked during the event; examples include a method of carrying kit, trail shoes with grip, waterproof jacket and trousers with taped seams, minimum 2 litres of water capacity, a bivvy bag, basic first aid, whistle, a GPS tracker provided by the organiser and sufficient food (minimum 400 kcal emergency supply). The route may be changed for safety or operational reasons. The event is non competitive in format and does not use podium places or finishing order results.
