Key Facts
---Standouts
A brutal point-to-point mountain trail from Fort William over the Devil's Staircase to Glencoe, with 1,369m of ascent. It is a serious mountain marathon rated as one of the toughest in the UK, run almost entirely off-road across the open hills.
Why attend here
In early September, the Highlands are painted in heather and the air is crisp for the long climbs to the Devil's Staircase. After the finish, warm up in Fort William with a bowl of Cullen skink and a dram of local whisky, then take a day to ride the Jacobite steam train past the Glenfinnan Viaduct or hike the Steall Falls trail.
