Ben Nevis Race

The start is at 1 p.m.,

but you have to collect your bib in person at Claggan Park between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Bring your SiEntries confirmation email, on paper or on screen.

Random kit checks happen on site, and if you don't have waterproof full-body cover, a hat and gloves, you're disqualified on the spot.

A whistle is mandatory, and poles are banned.

The time limit times are 1 hour 15 minutes at the halfway point, 2 hours 15 minutes at the summit and 3 hours 30 minutes overall.

Miss either of the first two and you're turned back, and finishing after 3 hours 30 minutes can bar you from the next edition.

There's no parking near the arena, so park in a town car park and walk.

Staying in town or around Glen Nevis lets you get around on foot.

The course requires you to stick to the designated route both up and down.

The organizers say that anyone caught coming down the grassy bank gets a lifetime ban.

On hot days like 2025, bring plenty of water.

Rain in the morning can clear by the afternoon, so layers help.

The awards ceremony is at 6 p.m. at the Nevis Centre.

It also helps to know that before entries close, you can't swap the name on your entry or your bib to another person.

If you have to drop out partway, tell the nearest marshal, then come back to the arena and report to the timing tent.

Pin your bib on your front, unfolded and uncovered, so the chip reads properly.

The Tea Shack, which sells tea and cake, and food stalls are on site, so there's somewhere to rest after you finish.
