What you’re in for

Sixty miles round the Isle of Arran over two days from Fisherman's Walk in Brodick: day one south through the coast and forested hills, 28 miles with about 1,070m of climb; day two north into the mountains over Goatfell, the highest point on the island, and across what the organiser calls the Bog of Doom, 30 miles with 1,830m. Mid-April. Pit stops at 9.5, 14.5 and 23 miles on the Saturday and 11.5 and 20 on the Sunday, with a mountain cut-off at the Saddle at ten past four. Fully waymarked with orange arrows and blue flags, and the ferry is part of the trip.

Terrain and trail

Coast path, boardwalk, forest road and village tarmac on day one; glen track, the stony climb and rocky ridge of Goatfell, and deep peat bog on day two. April in the Arran hills can be snow, sleet or sun. Marked. A trail shoe with grip, and the kit list for the mountain day.

Common questions

: The Ultra Tour of Arran is one distance: 60 Mile (96.6 km).
: No course file for the Ultra Tour of Arran yet, so there's no measured climb here. When Rat Race publish one, this fills in.
: Not graded yet. A TRP grade is worked out from distance and climb measured off the course file, and there isn't one for the Ultra Tour of Arran yet.
: Yes, the course is marked. Navigation skills are not required.
: We don't hold a compulsory kit list for the Ultra Tour of Arran. Rat Race confirm mandatory kit in their race information, usually in the final instructions.
: We don't hold published time limits for the Ultra Tour of Arran. If Rat Race set cut-offs, they'll be in the race information.
: We don't hold a checkpoint list for the Ultra Tour of Arran. What's on the table varies a lot between races, so check the Rat Race race information rather than turning up expecting food.
: Not yet — we don't hold a course file for the Ultra Tour of Arran. Some organisers only send the GPX to entrants. If we get one, it goes up free, with no sign-up.
