When looking to recce any provisional race routes, it is critical that you respect any land access limitations and keep to the defined paths.
Nevis Range Mountain Bike Trails. Use of the mountain bike trails in the Nevis Range is solely for mountain bikes during the hours defined by the Nevis Range. Please see the information available in the visitors centre and avoid using if at all unsure.
Land and Access. Please take care when accessing any of the race routes for Skyline Scotland by UTMB outside of the event weekend. We encourage runners to do safe, responsible recce runs to prepare for the race; however, please note any limited or temporary access.
Ecology and Preservation. To help preserve sensitive land across the landscape, we encourage anyone on a recce run to stick to the well-defined routes at all times.
GPX Files. Recce route GPX files will be made available closer to the event, while the final race GPX files will only be confirmed during the week leading up to the event.
Aid stations are available at strategic locations and regular intervals along the course. These provide basic food and drink options to runners, warm shelter and toilet facilities.
Larger aid stations will be well stocked with hot food options, hot drinks and a selection of other snacks, including cold drinks, water, cola and Näak Energy products.
There are toilet facilities at all locations (including women's toilets and toilets with period products). Most larger aid stations are located in existing buildings, are warm, and will have seating and rest areas.
Free shuttles will be available for athletes to take you from the Nevis Range to Fort William High Street before the race.
