The race takes place on the Southern Islands of the Outer Hebrides. The race starts on the Island of Gasay, part of the Lochboisdale Marina, the route then takes you on to South Uist for 20 miles before reaching Benbecula for the final 6 miles.
The race can be run as a Solo Full Marathon runner, as part of a team you create (Created Team), or have your name entered into the Community team draw (Community Team). Community Team members are drawn at random to make up a Team, known as Community Teams, anyone can join the random draw, you don't need to be a Uist resident. If your random Community Team changes from the names drawn due to drop outs, the team moves into the Created Team category as it is no longer a totally random team. The draw takes place 7 days before the race.
There are prizes for Solo Marathon runners (incl Vet. categories), also various Created & Community team prizes.
Entry includes a technical t-shirt or vest, a medal and some great craic along the way.
