The Glamaig Hill Race is a challenging 4.5-mile hill running event held on the Isle of Skye, starting from the Sligachan Hotel. With an ascent of 2,500 feet, it is known as one of the toughest races in Scottish hill running. The race is a short Category A event, requiring all participants to carry windproof body cover due to Skye’s unpredictable weather, with waterproof gear recommended. The course records stand at 44:22 for men and 56:09 for women, set in 2018. Organized by the Skye and Lochalsh Running Club, the race honors David Shepherd and attracts experienced runners seeking a demanding and scenic hill challenge.
