Overview
This fantastic 10km figure-of-eight race utilises forestry tracks, paths, and MTB tracks that weave through Leanachan Forest to create a challenging, exhilarating, but ultimately achievable trail 10km route.
Map

Description
- The initial 3km are on forestry tracks leading west towards Torlundy. These wide vehicle tracks allow runners to pass each other, spread out, and gently descend for a fast start to the route.
- After crossing the Allt na Caillich and passing Torlundy, the route weaves back through the forest for another 3.5km, gently climbing back to the Nevis Range Event Centre.
- Now, there is a change in tempo. At 6.5km, the route climbs steeply uphill for the next 1km via the amazing network of MTB routes before crossing the world-famous UCI World Cup Downhill MTB track and under the Nevis Range gondola.
- With just 2km to the nature of the route changes again, charging downhill on MTB single track, before bursting open onto wide forestry trails for a super-fast finish into the arena.
- The course will be fully signed, comprehensively waymarked and marshalled.
- The entire route is mandatory.
Cut off
Course closure 2pm.
More details to follow. The aim is to ensure as many people as possible are able to complete the Skyline Scotland races.
