The Cateran Yomp is for everyone. Whether you're taking on the challenge with friends, family, colleagues or flying solo, it's an experience you'll never forget.

Craig, a seasoned Yomper, teamed up with his dad and brother to tackle the demanding 54-mile route across the Scottish countryside, and all three crossed the finish line together.

Craig's dad says:

"I can’t put into words how proud I am of us. What an achievement, 54 miles covered in an official time of 18 hours 30 minutes. We still have donations to add but we will have raised over £2,000 for charity. Well worth the effort!"

Have a family member or two you'd love to take on the challenge with? Tag them in the comments and start building your team for Cateran Yomp 2027.! 👣💪
