Great Glen Ultra Marathon

Fort William, United Kingdom • 4 Jul 2026

Great Glen Ultra Marathon is a 72-mile solo ultramarathon from Fort William to Inverness, Scotland, run along the Great Glen Way with a 22-hour cut-off. Runners traverse canal towpaths, forestry tracks and some quiet roads, following the famous blue Great Glen Way markers and, at times, the High Route for extra spectacular views over Loch Ness. The course is fully marked with marshaled checkpoints roughly every 10 miles, and participants must be self-sufficient with mandatory kit. The event emphasizes sustainability and minimal support, with limited crew meet points and a bus transfer. UTMB points: 4; entry includes a memento, goody bag, and a tech shirt.
