Aonach Mor Uphill Race 2027 (New Year)
What better way to start the new year than with an Uphill test of endurance from the Nevis Range car park to the top gondola station! Followed by tea/coffee and soup and roll and the prize giving in the warmth of the Snowgoose Cafe!
For the 2027 race we are taking an active approach to increasing the diversity of runners in the race where 50% of race places will be allocated to female and non-binary runners. Entries will be done using pre entries and then invitations to enter will be sent out, the place must be accepted and paid to confirm your place. After 30th November if 50% of places haven't been filled by female and non-binary runners the remaining places will be open to all genders.
150 places available so act fast!
