Trotternish Ridge Race

About this event

The Trotternish Ridge Race tackles one of Scotland's most dramatic mountain landscapes on the Isle of Skye. This challenging 27km route with 2000m of climbing follows the famous Trotternish Ridge, where ancient landslips have created otherworldly rock formations like the Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing. Runners traverse exposed ridgelines with sweeping views across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides, navigating technical terrain that demands solid mountain running experience. The route combines sustained climbing with technical descents through a landscape shaped by volcanic activity and ancient geology. Starting from Flodigarry in the north, this race offers an unforgettable traverse of one of Britain's most iconic mountain ridges, where weather can change rapidly and navigation skills are essential.
