MTC BEITHIR

MTC BEITHIR is a single-day ultra running event held on 1 June 2028. The published race distance is 39 miles and the course runs from Forces Manor in Kingussie to Travelodge Inverness, passing through several pre-determined check points including Boat of Garten and locations on National Cycle Route 7.

The event is Day 6 of the nine day Mount to Coast SCOTIA series, so competitors may be running alongside SCOTIA entrants. Entry is limited to 20 general places with an additional 20 places reserved for SCOTIA competitors, giving a maximum field of 40. Entry fees are listed as £90 for the standard entry and £155 for a plus package that includes an embroidered race shirt and a lightweight hi-viz jacket when ordered at least four weeks before the event. All payments are non-refundable; an optional personal cancellation insurance may be added at checkout.

Finishers receive a bespoke BEITHIR medal and male and female champions receive trophies (trophy designs pending). The organiser provides competitor tracking devices with SOS capability and issues race maps and GPX files to entrants four weeks before the event. The route has preset cut-off times based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 mph; competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn. The race is cup-free so entrants should provide their own reusable cup. The published ascent is 2,256 ft and descent 2,978 ft. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
