Great Wilderness Challenge

Great Wilderness Challenge Annual charity event offering a range of runs and walks across some of the wildest and most beautiful terrain in the Highlands.

Every year, the picturesque Scottish Highland villages of Poolewe and Aultbea, along with the surrounding country estates, play host to one of Scotland's most gruelling endurance sporting events for charity. The Great Wilderness Challenge more than aptly lives up to its name. Against some of the most beautiful and rugged scenic landscape on offer in the United Kingdom, the Challenge consists of a number of physically demanding walks and runs over a variety of distances and terrains.
