Itinerary
Friday: Registration Day
The adventure begins! You will need to attend Tracker Collection on Friday 9th April between 1500 - 2100 at the Event Village. This is based at Ormidale Park, Brodick, Isle of Arran KA27 8BY.
Saturday: Event day 1
The event starts in the same location each day beside the beach at Fisherman’s Walk (next to Coop) in Brodick. Day 1 begins at 8.30am and heads south to explore the fabulously rugged coastline and rolling, forested hills. Don’t be fooled that it is easy, as 28 miles and 3500ft of ascent will definitely test your legs.
Sunday: Event Day 2
Day 2 starts at 7am and heads north, exploring the high mountain massif which dominates the skyline. At 30 miles and nearly 6000ft of ascent this is one tough day, made harder by already tired legs.
