M&D Green Glen Challenge

The Glen Challenge is an integral part of the morning program at the Glenurquhart Highland Games, offering participants two options: a leisurely 10-mile walk or a more spirited run along the same scenic route. Both routes begin at Coramony, located ten miles west of Drumnadrochit village.
Participants can take advantage of complimentary shuttle services to reach the starting point and experience the diverse landscape as they move through winding tracks and rugged terrain. The journey unfolds against a backdrop of rolling hills and serene lochs, providing breathtaking views that highlight the natural beauty of the Highlands.
This event is tailored for various fitness levels and adventurous spirits alike, challenging both endurance and determination throughout its 10-mile course. As runners or walkers progress along the path, they follow in the footsteps of their ancestors who would have made similar journeys to attend Highland Games events in days gone by.
The Glen Challenge culminates at the games field in Drumnadrochit, where participants are greeted with a warm community welcome and festive atmosphere characteristic of these traditional gatherings. Here, the sense of achievement is celebrated alongside the rich cultural heritage and camaraderie that define the Highland Games experience.
