The Corrieyairack Challenge, or “ Corrie” as it is fondly known, is the Speyside Trust’s biggest annual fundraising Event.

From humble beginnings in 1993, the Corrie has grown from 110 competitors to a maximum of 500 and has raised over £700,000 for the charity.

The Event itself is held every July and consists of a gruelling 17-mile hill section over the historic Corrieyairack Pass, Scotland’s highest mountain road (2350 ft).  This is followed by a 26-mile undulating cycle through Laggan, Newtonmore and Kingussie, before finishing in Kincarig at the annual Village Fete.

The Corrie is open to teams of 4, made up of 3 competitors and 1 marshal (this is essential to the event).

Entrants can choose to compete in one of the following categories:

Run/Cycle – 17 & 26 miles
Walk/Cycle   - 17 & 26 miles
Mountain Bike – 43 miles
Walk Only – 17 mile hill walk
