The Highland Ultra, inaugurated in 2021, invites participants to explore the breathtaking Scottish Highlands on a nearly 78-mile race across Knoydart Peninsula. This self-supported adventure offers dramatic landscapes, wildlife sightings, and culminates at The Old Forge, Britain’s most remote pub. The event has gained popularity among elite ultrarunners, promoting sustainable tourism while honoring Scotland's rich cultural heritage. Race director Kris King highlights Knoydart's untouched beauty, making it a unique and inspiring experience for runners who seek both physical challenge and natural immersion.
"It's unique because, unlike the rest of Britain, large parts of Scotland haven't got commercial permission to operate large amounts of tourists, but there's this deep heritage of travel and adventure."
"It's insanely picturesque," says race director Kris King, who calls Knoydart one of the "most beautiful and untouched places in Britain."
