MTC BEITHIR
The MTC BEITHIR is a single-day ultramarathon held on 1 June 2028. The route runs from Forces Manor in Kingussie to Travelodge Inverness and covers a total distance of approximately 38.5 miles. The event is also Day 6 of the nine-day Mount to Coast SCOTIA end to end series, so some competitors will be taking part alongside SCOTIA runners.
Entry is limited to 20 race-only places with an additional allowance of 20 places for SCOTIA competitors, giving a maximum field of 40. All finishers receive a bespoke BEITHIR medal and male and female champions receive trophies. There is an option at checkout to add a race shirt and a hi-viz jacket as part of a plus package; to guarantee supply this option must be selected at least four weeks before the event.
The organisers operate preset cut-off times along the route based on a minimum average speed of 4.0 miles per hour; competitors who fall below this requirement may be withdrawn. The event is cup free so competitors should bring a reusable cup. Maps and GPX files are provided to entrants by email four weeks before the race and each competitor is issued with a tracking device that includes an SOS function.
Mandatory kit includes a backpack, head torch with spare batteries, the route maps as provided, a compass or GPS device, a whistle, mobile phone, waterproof map case, basic first aid and emergency food. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
