About my registration...
Yes - you can move from one competition (i.e. race distance) to another before 9th of August 2027, providing there are still registrations available. We cannot move you into a competition which is full.
If you want to move to a longer race distance - you will be requested to pay the difference in registration fee.
If you want to move to a shorter race distance - you will not receive a refund for the change in registration fee.
To request a move into another race distance you must fill out the Contact Us form. We will respond to your request as soon as possible.
If you can no longer attend Skyline Scotland, you need to login to your 'MyUTMB account'. Select Skyline Scotland event and 'Edit Registration'.
- If you purchased cancellation insurance during registration, you may be able to apply for a refund depending on the reason for your cancellation. We recommend you read the 'General Terms & Conditions' You can then request the refund through the "Declare a cancellation claim" button on your dashbaord. This will automatically canel your registration on the organisers' side.
If you wish to apply for a refund you will need to complete the online claims form. Please note: cancellation insurance and the claims process are not managed by UTMB or Arc of Attrition. This is an external service. For any queries, please contact the insurance company through your personal space.
- If you did not purchase cancellation insurance, you will not be entitled to a refund or deferral regardless of the circumstances. You can then select "Cancel my registration".
We do not offer deferrals to future editions of Skyline Scotland under any circumstances except for the conditions explained in our UTMB Child Welcome Policy.

If you purchased cancellation insurance you may be able to apply for a refund depending on the reason for your cancellation, according to the insurance company's policy.
Yes - we reserve a number of registrations within each competition (i.e. race distance) for elite athletes. These registrations are allocated based on the elite athlete's UTMB Index for the specific competition category (i.e. 100M, 100K, 50K).
Elite athletes can, via their MyUTMB account, register directly for a free entry providing they have the relevant competition category index for that race. Please go to your MyUTMB account, select the race and if eligible this option will be available to you.
If the competition is full and you believe you meet the UTMB Index for a free entry, use the Contact Us form and select 'Other'. We will respond to your request as soon as possible.
If you do not have the minimum UTMB Index required for your chosen competition, we cannot consider you for a free registration.
Your registration for Skyline Scotland by UTMB is personal to you and non-transferable. We do not allow the transfer of a registration to another person.

Yes - we strongly recommend you have previous experience of long-distance trail running before registering for Skyline Scotland. The level of experience you will need depends on the competition (race distance) you have entered. You are expected to arrive at the start line well-trained, both physically and mentally, and confident in your ability to safely complete the route within the time limit.
There is currently no compulsory minimum UTMB Index required to participant in Skyline Scotland. However, for the Arc 100 we recommend participants have a UTMB Index of at least 380 in the 50K, 100K or 100M race category.
Participating in endurance events, such as ultra-running, comes with an increase in risk to injury and illness. You must make a judgement on your suitability to take part and that you have done sufficient training to ensure you are fit enough to cope with the demands of the event.
You may hear people talking about having a UTMB Index and wanting to earn Running Stones. These are both part of the UTMB Sport System.
The UTMB Index is a numerical value used to measure the performance level of each runner based on different race categories (20K, 50K, 100K, 100M). You acquire an index every time you complete a qualifying UTMB Index Race of which there are several thousand globally.
Running Stones can only be obtained by completing a race at a UTMB World Series race like Skyline Scotland. The other UTMB World Series events in the UK are Eryri and Arc of Attrition . You need to have Running Stones to pre-register and enter the ballot for the UTMB World Series Finals held in Chamonix, France, each August.
Your MyUTMB account will have details of your UTMB Index. This will include your overall index and your index by race category.
You can also check your index on the UTMB World Series website by selecting Runner Search.
No, you are not required to provide a medical certificate to complete your registration for Skyline Scotland.
We know other UTMB World Series events, particularly those in mainland Europe, require a medical certificate. This is not the case in the UK. You are expected to arrive at the start line well-trained, both physically and mentally, and confident in your ability to safely complete the route within the time limit.
Participating in endurance events, such as ultra-running, comes with an increase in risk to injury and illness. You must make a judgement on your suitability to take part and that you have done sufficient training to ensure you are fit enough to cope with the demands of the event.
If you have any existing medical conditions, you are recommended to seek advice from a medical practitioner before participating in the event.
We recommend participants seek out their own sports accident insurance to provide cover for any personal accidents or personal liabilities while participating in ultra-running.
