Watch: Superb short film on the West Highland Way race 2025
The West Highland Way is Scotland’s original long-distance trail, inaugurated in 1981!
Most sensible people walk it in sections taking between five and seven days to complete the trail.
Since 1985, on the weekend closest to Midsummer, there is the annual race, where runners have 35 hours to complete the 96 miles.
The 2025 running of the West Highland Way race was the 39th edition. 243 runners set off from Milngavie at 1 am on Saturday 21 June, with the goal of earning an engraved crystal goblet when they reached Fort William.
Motherwell AC athlete Gus Irvine won the race in 15:09:09. That’s the sixth best performance of all time.
Winner of the Women’s race was won by Rebecca Hormann in 19:02:14.
