RACE!


Welcome to the Highland Fling Race site

A 53 mile ultra race through some of Scotland's greatest scenery

Welcome to the "Highland Fling" website, home of Scotland's newest and fastest growing ultra race which runs from Milngavie to Tyndrum along the West Highland Way.

This race is open to individuals, club ultra teams and relay teams and should appeal to anyone looking to stretch themselves beyond the marathon.  It is also timed to be an excellent preparation for those training for the full West Highland Way race in June.   It's also great as a qualifier towards the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc.

Next year's race will be on Saturday the 25th of April 2009

Due to continuing rapid growth of the 'Fling' (over 20 entries already), there are some changes to the format of the race (concerning start times) so have a look at the About page for more details
