Caledonian Challenge

June 11th-12th 2011

The Caledonian Challenge 2011 offers participants ‘The Walk of Your Life’.  The goal is for teams to complete 54 miles in 24 hours, whilst helping to support some of the UK’s most isolated communities.  Whether walking or running, the epic journey travels through some of Scotland’s most famous, remote, rugged and stunningly beautiful landscapes. Starting at Gairlochy, teams will walk the famous Great Glen Ways and West Highland Way footpaths via Checkpoints at Fort William, Kinlochleven, Glencoe Ski Centre and Inveroran, before finishing the Challenge at Auchtertyre.

Since the Challenge was founded in 1996, more than 13,000 people have successfully taken part and raised over £9M, which has been distributed by the Scottish Community Foundation to enterprising voluntary groups and community organisations close to the course and throughout Scotland.  For more information about the Scottish Community Foundation click here.
