Ultra X Scotland by Pack Performance

Sat 3rd May 2025 - Sun 4th May 2025

A large group of runners, wearing athletic gear and hats, start running under a blue inflatable arch marked "Ultra X." The background features a rocky, reddish terrain. Blue flags line the start area. A single hiker with a red backpack walks along a narrow trail amid lush, green pine trees and vegetation. The area is shrouded in mist, creating a serene and mysterious atmosphere. The sky is foggy with low visibility, adding to the sense of isolation and tranquility. Three runners in colorful gear walk across a desert landscape at sunrise or sunset. They wear caps, vests, and hydration packs. The sky is a blend of blue and orange hues, with silhouetted rocky formations in the background. A large group of runners participates in a desert marathon, traversing a rugged, sandy terrain with towering rocky cliffs in the background under a reddish hue from the sunset.

Organiser's Description

Ultra X Scotland by Pack Performance is an event that takes place around
Loch Ness in May each year. It offers two races: Ultra X 110 Scotland and
Ultra X 50 Scotland. The 110 event is a two-stage race taking place on
Saturday and Sunday, whilst the 50 event is a single stage race taking
place on the Sunday on the same route as the 110 runners.

The Scottish Highlands is a mountainous region encompassing northwest
Scotland, with the Great Glen and Loch Ness at its centre. Following a
geological fault line formed more than 400 million years ago, the Great
Glen runs arrow-straight from Fort William to Moray Firth. Surrounded
by some of the UK’s highest mountains and filled with four immense
lochs, the glen is a unique wilderness rich in Highland heritage.

The 110km course takes participants on a circumnavigation of Loch Ness,
following the Great Glen Way and the South Loch Ness Trail from Bught
Park Pitches in Inverness to Loch Ness Beach in Dores, covering a total
distance of 110km (68 miles). The 50km course joins the 110 runners on
day 2, from the southern end of Loch Ness in Fort Augustus finishing in
Dores too.

The first stage on Saturday is 60km and will commence at 07:00. The
second stage is 50km and will commence at 08:00 for all runners. There
are checkpoints stationed approximately 10km apart where competitors
can access water, food, shelter, and, if necessary, medical support.

Ultra X 110 Scotland is a UTMB® World Series qualifier in the 100K
category category whilst Ultra X 50 Scotland is in the 50K category.
