This year Mackenzie Kerr have once again entered a team into the Highland Cross - "Oh what have we done!". This year our entrants are Martin Nairn, Mhairi Sweeney and Alistair Justice. For Martin and Mhairi they have both done this event several times before and so know what they are letting themselves in for. This is Alistair's first "crossing" so will be an eye opener for him.

Highland Cross is a 50-mile duathlon (20 miles on foot, 30 miles on bike) traversing the spectacular Scottish Highlands coast to coast, west to east from Kintail through Glen Affric and Strathglass to Beauly.

Highland Cross exists to raise money for causes that benefit the people of Highland, disadvantaged by disability, ill health or social need.

Entry to the Highland Cross is by invitation only for 265 teams of 3 (795 persons) of all athletic abilities; walkers, joggers, runners and cyclists. Teams must pledge to raise a minimum of £500 in sponsorship for the charities nominated by Highland Cross.
