About this event

Sports & Fitness • Running

Knoydart is a peninsula on the west coast of Scotland and is known as ‘Britain’s Last Wilderness’. Isolated from the UK road network, the region is only accessible only by boat or by foot. It is truly a stunning and unspoiled corner of Scotland!

Join us at Doune Bay Lodge on Knoydart, with it's lovely beachfront location and incredible views. The lodge has twin rooms, all ensuite, with shared cooking facilities (self-catering; most meals not included). It is also totally off-grid, so all the power is from solar, small hydro and battery. If ever there was a way to really 'get away from it all' then this is it!

We call this a retreat for a reason - running will be at a sociable pace with plenty of stops for photos, walking and chatting. Nobody gets left behind! Take in the scenery as our guides show you the way, explain the Gaelic names of the surrounding hills and point-out the rich wildlife on land and sea.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Boat transfer from Mallaig (return)
  • Three-night stay at luxury Doune Lodge (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)
  • 3 Course Meal out at the splendid Doune Knoydart Restaurant on the Saturday night.

  • Coffee Knoydart tasting, hand-roasted in Knoydart
  • Time and space to relax in a beautiful, quiet location

The magic of this weekend is time spent in a special remote landscape and the joy of journeying through open spaces . We can't wait to share Knoydart with you!
