The race is listed as 39 miles (the route total is also shown as 38.5 miles) and runs from Forces Manor, Kingussie to Travelodge Inverness. It forms Day 6 of the nine day MTC SCOTIA end to end challenge and is part of the Mount to Coast End to End series and the Myths & Legends of Scotia.
Competitor numbers are limited to 20 plus an additional allowance of 20 for SCOTIA entrants, giving a maximum field of 40. Total ascent is shown as 2,256 ft and total descent as 2,978 ft. The event uses preset cut-off times based on a minimum average speed of 4 mph; competitors who fall below that minimum can be withdrawn.
All finishers receive a bespoke BEITHIR medal and male and female champions receive trophies. Entrants may upgrade at checkout to a race package that includes an embroidered race shirt and a lightweight hi-viz jacket; the package must be ordered at least four weeks before the event to guarantee clothing supply. Entry fees are listed as £90 for the race or £155 for the plus package.
Maps and GPX files and live tracking are provided to entrants only; tracking devices with SOS capability are issued. The race is cup-free so competitors should bring a reusable cup.
