Organiser's Description

The WHW Challenge Race is a 95 mile 'point to point race' along Scotland's beautiful, scenic and rugged premier route, which opened in 1980 and is well signposted with permanent marker posts.

The race will start at Milngavie at 1 second after midnight on Saturday 25 May and finish in Fort William. It is scheduled to be completed in 35 hours, although this time may be extended if adverse weather conditions prevail. Those finishing the WHW in under 30 hours will be given the 'additional option' to carry on, with an ascent and descent of Ben Nevis, weather permitting and at the race organisers' discretion, increasing the race distance to 105 miles and 19,175ft of ascent.
