With just over a month to go, registrations are coming in nicely for the Heartbreak Hill Five Hour Challenge Highland Hospice Fundraiser on Saturday 13th June 2026 and we're really looking forward to a great turnout.

Some people have told us that they worry this event isn't for them. As we have said before, it can be a challenge for those who want it and we are expecting some to be aiming for half and full marathons plus! But, each lap is only 3.6k on excellent forest tracks and if you enter to do just one lap, that's perfectly fine by us.

We know from some of the beginners who have joined us recently, that being with others is always easier than running or walking on your own, and the buzz of being in a big event motivates you even more. It's all for a great cause and we will be happy to see everyone making use of the beautiful outdoors we have on our doorstep.

For spectators and participants who wish to re-fuel between laps, we have North Roast serving speciality coffees and other hot and cold drinks along with savoury and sweet delights. They were at Ultra X Scotland on Loch Ness last weekend and were getting orders for quadruple shot espressos, so they'll be coming prepared for all requests.

Please don't forget, we cannot accept entries on the day itself. You must register online here

Seven weeks today we hope to see you in Inverlael Forest raring to go for the Heartbreak Hill Five Hour Challenge Fundraiser for
Highland Hospice Let’s hope the weather on 13th June is as good as it is today. Today's post is a bit of an update based on some questions and feedback we have been getting, so here goes.

Quads and pairs seem to be the way a lot of people are choosing to enter. If you are a team of three you will be classed as a quad, but we have said that we will try and help out if folk are short or want to join a team. Just let us know. Your team will need a name, and so far we have had some brilliant ones, so please keep them coming.

Only ONE race number will be allocated per team and should be worn in a runner number belt by the team member competing on the route. Similar to a relay baton, the belt needs to be handed over to the next team member competing on the route. The belts and numbers will be given out at registration.

There is a an entry fee for this event which is paid once you register online. After you have entered your personal details, proceed to payment where you have two options. A green PAY button appears which directs you to the LINK web payment method where you will be sent a verification code to your mobile phone. Alternatively, you can pay by credit or debit card by clicking on PAY WITHOUT LINK underneath.

HIGHLAND HOSPICE FUNDRAISER
HEARTBREAK HILL FIVE HOUR CHALLENGE

On Saturday 13th June 2026, we will welcome runners from all over Scotland to Inverlael Forest to take part in the Heartbreak Hill
Five Hour Challenge. This event is intended to be a challenge and many of the participants will be aiming for half or full marathons, but anyone can enter to run or walk as many 3.6K laps as they can in the five hours.

The event is a fundraiser for Highland Hospice , and once the essential costs have been met all the profit will be donated to the charity. Highland Hospice touches the lives of over 1,000 patients and carers each year and they need to fundraise over £8,500 a day to cover the cost of delivering their services, over and above the annual grant they receive from the NHS. Every penny counts and any contribution we give will make a meaningful difference to Highland Hospice patients and their families when they need it most.
We are keen to point out that participants need not to be on the course for the full five hours. They can do a lap, or two, then decide to take a break. They can run, walk, or a bit of both, do as many laps as they choose. There will a pit-stop rest area with catering van and toilets.

Entry categories are individual, pair, or quad, male, female and mixed. Each participant will get a medal for taking part, and the category winners will also get a special memento in recognition of their efforts. How teams decide to use the five hours is entirely up to them, but only one team member may compete at the same time. If one or more from the same team do the route together, the lap/time will only count once.

There is no age or ability limit, though under 14s must be accompanied at registration by a parent/guardian.

Whether you are new to trail and hill running, setting yourself a bigger challenge, or just fancy walking in a beautiful forest, this event is for you. At times it will be hard, but you will be rewarded with stunning views over Loch Broom, the Summer Isles and beyond.

To take part, you must register by the deadline of Friday 5th June 2026.

Very pleased we decided to go ahead at the campsite this morning as the weather was reasonably kind and we had a great bunch of enthusiastic newcomers from the local Couch to 5K group. Many congratulations to Jen Cunningham for coming overall first, she has been knocking on the door for a long time and seized the opportunity. It was very much Ladies Day today with Cathy, Cindy, Jan, Jenny, Paula and Rachel all doing the campsite for the first time and running really well. Well done to everyone, including the three very young ones who ran and cycled a few laps.
Thanks to John for being marshal, Jayne for her support and to everyone for the donations of £56 which we will put towards staging the Heartbreak Hill Five Hour Challenge on 13th June.
