The Fort William route is one of the most historic: there will be a lot to relaunch given that the track is not as steep as other tracks but we find it so natural and guided. It extends for 2,8 km in length with a vertical drop of 550m.

MARATHON
Sunday August 6 2023
The Marathon is a specialty that can reserve surprises: the details of the route are not yet known but we understand that it could be a route suitable for powerful athletes as there are no very high peaks in Scotland.
Diego Rose, fresh in the tricolor shirt, and Fabian Rabensteiner will be the points of our national team to conquer this coveted shirt.
