The Challenge

Deutsch Nederlands Français Italiano

To complete the 53 mile “Fling” course along the Southern part of the West Highland Way from Milngavie to Tyndrum within the appropriate time limit. In addition to the solo runners, there are club competitions, and a four-person relay race. All runners must be 21 years old or over. The “Fling” is designed to be run unsupported. The organisers will distribute drop-bags prepared by the runner and labelled with the appropriate race number along the route at the checkpoints. Labelled kitbags will be taken to the finish at Tyndrum, and buses, which must be booked and paid for in advance, will transport participants back to Milngavie Railway Station.
