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.
