There are marshaled checkpoints approximately every 10 miles along the fully marked route. There is a cut off time of 22 hours.

The short course follows a 42 mile route between Fort Augustus and Inverness on the Great Glen Way. There is a cut off time of 15 hours.

The event is for solo runners and designed to be run unsupported with drop bags located at checkpoints along the route.
