MTC MORAG

Across the Highland roads, this ultra has a straightforward objective: reach the end of the route on tired legs. It is part of the "Mount to Coast End to End Challenge Series" and serves as Day 7 of the "end to end challenge of Scotland," itself a component of the "Myths & Legends of SCOTIA" set. Expect road running, not a soft trail day, with the feel of a city-to-city push through open northern terrain. The participants are ultra runners, so the mood should be practical: time restrictions, navigation and tracking, check-point food, and a finish that earns a bespoke race medal. The optional extra kit, including an official race t-shirt and hi-viz jacket, seems a useful acknowledgement of the event's long-road nature.
