West Highland Way Run

As well as being a popular hiking trail, the 95-mile (152 km) West Highland Way hosts two established ultramarathons: the West Highland Way Race and the Highland Fling. That’s because it offers a well-marked trail and a fast running surface.

The route is composed of flatter sections, near-smooth paths and forest single track, interspersed with some challenging climbs and descents such as the notorious Devil’s Staircase. The backdrop to all of this is the most magnificent mountain scenery in Britain, rife with jagged mountains and the glittering expanses of enormous lochs.

For those with some energy left to burn at the end, the trail finishes at the foot of Britain’s biggest mountain, Ben Nevis. So you could dash up that too.

This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
