About the race
Ultra X Scotland is a two-day trail running event held in the Scottish Highlands on 1-2 May 2027. The route uses trails around Loch Ness and the Inverness area, and difficulty and technicality are both rated low on the event scale.
Several race distances are offered:
- 100 miles
- 110 km
- 60 km
- 50 km
- 25 km
- 12 km
The 100-mile race starts in Inverness. The 110 km (single and multi-stage), 50 km and 25 km races start in Dores. The 60 km starts in Fort Augustus. Aid stations are fully stocked and placed at approximately 10 km intervals.
110 km multi-stage entries include camping. Entrants in the 100-mile, 60 km and 50 km races may purchase camping as an add-on when it becomes available. Registered participants receive a full Race Pack by email one month before the event; the pack contains detailed information, timings and cut-offs.
The event is part of the Great British Slam award programme. The Slam recognises participants who complete any three GB Ultra X ultra-distance events within a 12-month period. To qualify, entrants must finish each chosen event within that race's cut-off times; awards are presented at the final event in the slam.
Entrants receive a welcome email, a race pack, access to a private community group, and the option to book a pre-race team call for questions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
