The Bà Duathlon ROUTE MAP
Rolling Start: 4:30–7am**

80-Mile Duathlon
The off-road run covers 18 miles of Scotland’s finest mountain trails, climbing and descending 1,000m before reaching your bike. From there, you’ll ride 62 of the sweetest west coast miles back to Kinlochewe. It’s a WEST COAST GIANT!
The road ride section merges onto The Bà Sportive route, where you’ll join the Sportive riders to take on the mighty Bealach Na Bà (closed road section) before continuing around the coast.
This duathlon features 3,000m of total elevation across the run and ride. Due to the remote and mountainous terrain, the event has a prerequisite list — make sure to check it before entering. You’ll be asked to provide details of your experience to secure your place on the start list.

-
The Bà Sportive (formerly Bealach Mòr) has been passed on by our friends at Hands On Events, who managed this Highland classic for 18 years.
-
The Bà Duathlon is back for 2026!
Both events are based out of the Highland village of Kinlochewe, where the locals will welcome you in and make sure you’re well caffeinated and fed throughout your visit.
We couldn’t do this without the incredible support of the local communities along the route. These events are dedicated to giving back — donating to local facilities and employing local services wherever possible.
THE BEALACH NA BÀ – CLOSED ROAD
The iconic Bealach Na Bà is yours to enjoy! The UK's longest road climb, linking Tornapress - Applecross peninsula, will be closed exclusively for The Bà — giving riders a rare chance to soak up its beauty without motor vehicles.
It’s all about freedom, views, and pure riding joy on one of Scotland’s most breathtaking routes.
Spectators welcome particularly ones with cowbells! 🐄🔔
