The Isle of Jura Fell Race

30/05/2026

Two final for now bits from us!

🏁 Our club Westerlands Cross Country Club has got The Brack race back up and running for this year - similar to Jura in that it is a properly wild, rough race, but much shorter. We'd love to see some of you there to help get this race back as a firm fixture on the racing timetable. Happening on 14 June and you can enter here: https://protay.co.uk/thebrack26/

🗳️ And we'd also like to ask everyone who can to please fill in the 2026 Isle of Jura visitor survey. This will help the community understand how people are finding the experience of visiting the island as well as how to make the most of busy weekends like the Fell Race!

Now we've recovered from having to leave Jura in the sun, a huge thank you to everyone who made the race this year such a success. This includes, but is not limited to, Glasgow and Clyde Raynet, Oban Mountain Rescue Team, Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team, The Adventure Patch Company, our brilliant marshals, race sponsors and of course the community on the Isle of Jura who pull out all the stops to make race weekend unbeatable.

Congratulations to everyone who completed the course this year. Highlights for us were Naomi Lang's new course record, the Junior Races and the Antlers cinnamon buns.
