The annual Lochalsh Dirty 30 challenge walk will be held just over two weeks away on Saturday 11 June with 5 June the deadline for applications. The Dirty 30 covers 30 miles of tough Scottish west-coast terrain taking in coast, forestry and mountain passes in some of the most spectacular Scottish scenery. Although not strictly a race, the course must be completed in 24 hours with some runners finishing in just over 5 hours although the majority choose to walk the route in considerably longer times.
For details of this year’s event and how to apply see the Dirty 30 website. And if you’re wondering, the name refers to the copious amount of mud usually found on the notorious forestry section.
