Kintyre Way Ultra

Description

There’s a special kind of solitude that only a trail like the Kintyre Way can offer. Stretching across one of Scotland’s most remote and untouched peninsulas, the Kintyre Way Ultra invites runners to leave the noise behind and reconnect with the raw, elemental beauty of nature. This is a race for those who seek not just distance, but meaning in every step.

Winding from coast to coast, forest to moorland, the route offers up over 33 miles of challenging terrain, panoramic views of the Atlantic, and an ever-changing backdrop of mountains, beaches, and ancient woodland. It's the kind of course where every hill climbed and every stretch of trail conquered feels like its own quiet victory. The wildness of Kintyre is both humbling and empowering—one moment you're dodging tree roots in a dense forest, the next you're flying along open ridgelines with sea air in your lungs.

More than just a race, this is a journey that binds runners together through grit, determination, and shared awe. The welcome at the finish line is as warm as the landscape is wild—and the memories made here will stay with you long after your shoes are muddy and your muscles sore. For those ready to test their limits in one of Scotland’s most stirring settings, the Kintyre Way Ultra promises an experience that runs deeper than the miles.
