3 Islands Marathon Hebrides Transport to the start

On July 18, 2027, runners participating in this exciting race have the option to secure transportation from The Dark Island Hotel to Lochboisdale Marina. This essential service ensures that participants arrive at the start line on time for either a 9am or 10am departure.
Transportation is available exclusively before the event and runs approximately every half hour, with each journey taking around 30 minutes. It's important to note that there will be no return transport from Lochboisdale after the race has concluded. To avoid disappointment on race day, participants are advised to book their seats in advance as space is limited.
Participants can choose between solo or community draw entries for individual runners and pairs or relay team options for those competing together. All tickets must be purchased before registration at The Dark Island Hotel on the evening prior to the event, where they will receive confirmation of their reserved seat along with race details and instructions.
For added convenience, a bag drop service is available at Lochboisdale Marina, allowing runners to leave personal items securely stored until after the race when these belongings are transported back to The Dark Island Hotel. This ensures that participants can focus solely on the run without worrying about carrying extra gear during their journey across scenic terrain and waterways.
Participants should plan ahead as there is no refund policy for unused bus tickets, and turning up unbooked may result in a lengthy walk from Lochboisdale back to The Dark Island Hotel. With its unique setting and challenging course, this race offers an unforgettable experience for runners of all abilities, combining the beauty of coastal landscapes with the thrill of competition.
