By Way of The Glen (Glasgow to Inverness)

This is a 170 mile foot race between Glasgow and Inverness that follows the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way. The route starts at Milngavie Train Station and is fully marked with waymark and arrow signs. The course has a total ascent of around 24,000 ft.

Runners must complete the West Highland Way section, listed as 94 miles, within a 28 hour cut-off before linking on tarmac to join the Great Glen Way at Neptune Staircase. The remaining Great Glen Way section is 72 miles.

There are checkpoints along the route where runners can be met by their support teams. Some checkpoints are served as drop bag points by marshals because of their locations and the need for support crews to rest. Runners will be tracked during the event, and entries are subject to vetting of prior race history. Entrants must have completed races of 70 miles or more to be eligible.

Entry fees listed until 4 June 2027 are £278 (discounted) and £280 (standard); discounted rates apply to members of ARC EA WA. Total places are limited to 20. The event includes a presentation on Sunday morning at the Inverness sports centre where runners' achievements are recognised.

Refunds and deferrals follow the organiser policy, including a 30 day cooling off administration fee and specified refund windows. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
