MTC BEITHIR
MTC BEITHIR is a single day ultra run, new for 2028, forming part of the Mount to Coast End to End Challenge Series and serving as Day 6 of the nine day MTC SCOTIA series. The route runs from Forces Manor in Kingussie to Travelodge Inverness, covering approximately 39 miles with about 2,256 ft of ascent and 2,978 ft of descent. The event is listed as the first edition and takes place on 1 June 2028.
Competitor entry is limited to 20 places plus an additional 20 places reserved for SCOTIA entrants, giving a maximum field of 40. All entrants must be aged 20 or over on the start day. The organisers enforce a minimum average speed requirement of 4.0 mph; competitors who fall below this threshold may be withdrawn. Cut-off points are set along the route and maps and GPX files are provided to entrants only, emailed about four weeks before the event.
Each finisher receives a bespoke BEITHIR medal; male and female champions are awarded bespoke trophies. Entry options include a standard fee and a plus package that adds an embroidered race shirt and a lightweight hi-viz jacket when purchased in advance. Entries are non refundable; a personal cancellation insurance option is offered at checkout and a defer option is available for a fee up to four weeks before the event.
Competitors are supplied with a tracking device with an SOS function and must carry mandatory kit including a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, provided route maps, compass or GPS, whistle, mobile phone, basic first aid and emergency food, plus a waterproof map case. The race is cup free so competitors must bring a reusable cup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
