Trip Overview:

We’re not only increasing the distance, but we’re taking it across the pond to the rugged coastline of Scotland’s, Isle of Skye. So get your crop tops trimmed and your

We will be running a 50k through the heart of the Isle starting from the northern most point, Rubha Hunish, to the spectacular Fairy Pools Waterfall. The route includes both trail and gravel terrain.

The remainder of the trip includes two nights of camping — on the point of Rubha Hunish and on the summit of Quirang Peak, cold water surfing, local pub crawls and opportunities to connect with the local Scottish community and learn a little bit more about their culture.
