Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

***** Stop Press***  The race took place on Saturday 11th July. Graham and Graeme completed the course as winners in a new record time of 8hrs 10mins

 

After finishing runners up in the 2007 Hebridean Challenge Graham Johnston and Graeme Gatherer are back in training for another incredible race. This time they are also hoping to raise as much money as possible to support Mercy Corps with their invaluable work in the third world. Please give whatever you can as it's sure to help.

The challenge

The Artemis Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon is an exhilarating test of stamina, strength and fitness through some of the most spectacular and historic areas of the Scottish Highlands.  Arguably, Scotland's toughest single day adventure race!

The course:

  • Open Water Swim - 1.5k (0.8 miles) across Loch Tay
  • Fell Run - seven Munro's encompassing the Lawers and Ptarmigan Ridges to Morenish (approx 24k or 15 miles)
  • Kayak - 11k (7 miles) back to Ardtalnaig
  • Cycle - around Loch Tay 54k (34 miles)
  • Slice a melon - in two with a sword to stop the clock
