Limited Mobility Routes :-
ROUTE CHOICES The 25 miler is a strenuous route in amazing surroundings, requiring serious fitness preparation. The 13 and 7 milers and the 10k though less arduous, equally capture the wilderness atmosphere, and are suitable for most levels of fitness and ability. The Limited Mobility routes are suitable for anyone who has mobility problems or a disability which prohibits them for taking part in the longer events. Entrants may take part along with a carer if required. In addition to the normal safety cover in place we have manual wheelchairs available for use in an emergency and additional marshals along the route to assist as required. Please contact us if you require any additional information as to the suitability of these routes. Whichever option you choose we hope the Challenge will be a wonderful experience for you and ultimately a rewarding one for our chosen charities. ROUTE MAPS Detailed maps of all routes are available on this website and will also be printed in our event newsletter. We also recommend Ordnance Survey Landrager 1:50000 Sheet 19 Gairloch and Ullapool map which encompasses all the routes and includes much additional information besides. TIMETABLE

No exceptions can be made - we are affiliated to Scottish Athletics and must abide by their rules FUNDRAISING PLEDGE Each GWC entrant submitting the entry form pledges to raise sponsorship. Our target is a moderate minimum of £100 per person. The average sum raised by participants in recent years has exceeded £300 per person. The GWC is a registered Charity which means we are able to claim Gift Aid on all eligible donations. Please help us to increase our fundraising total by asking all of your sponsors to sign the Gift Aid declaration where appropriate. All sponsorship raised by participants will be split between our nominated charities. We regret we are unable to allow participants to raise money for any other charities of their own choice. Online fundraising pages will be set up on Enthuse as part of your registration process. In addition Sponsorship Forms are available to download from our website. We appreciate that in the current economic climate raising sponsorship is difficult however as we are primarily a fundraising event please be aware that places in subsequent years will be offered firstly to those who have met or exceeded the fundraising target.
