Successful source check: 2 Sept 2026Source confidence: mediumThe £58 affiliated fee is stored as the minimum before the £60 standard fee. EntryCentral rounds the distance to 35 miles and its segment ascent totals differ slightly from the headline. Official navigation guidance describes the route as fully marked. The Carradale 11:50 gate from an 08:15 start is not an overall cutoff. The relay is a companion category.

Beginner-friendly
Limited input evidence · 50% evidence coverage
The main recorded demands are balanced overall demands. Course difficulty and cutoff pressure describe different challenges: more approachable terrain can still require a demanding pace to beat the deadline. Neither score assesses your personal fitness, safety or readiness.
Scoring details and version
Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.00 points here and is capped at 0.70; a broad limit cannot erase extreme intrinsic demand. This is independent of the public Cutoff Pressure V2 band. Evidence coverage describes the recorded inputs, not prediction accuracy or your likelihood of finishing.
Weather, conditions and individual preparation can change the real difficulty significantly.

Data PartialThe organiser confirms Saturday 8 May 2027 and says entries open 1 January. Distance and ascent are transparent sums of the three official 2027 leg figures, not inherited from 2026; cutoff, price and field limit remain unknown rather than being carried across the rotating course. Field-scoped check 2026-09-28: The official homepage specifies Tayinloan to Tarbert for 2027. Campbeltown remains the historical 2026 finish. Only these facts were reviewed; other details retain their previous source dates.
