Haglöfs Supporting Mountain Marathon

Haglöfs is supporting the Highlander Mountain Marathon in 2010 emphasising that its Intense range of lightweight, fast-moving kit is ideal for one of the UK's most challenging mountain marathon events complete with mid-way ceilidh.


The 2010 Highlander takes place on 10/11 April 'somewhere in the North of Scotland' with a combination of stunning mountain scenery and changeable early spring Scottish weather making for a tough but stunning event. The format is standard mountain marathon with teams of two competing over two days navigating over mountain terrain while carrying their own kit for the overnight camp.

There are five classes to choose from which means that a whole range of abilities from elite level athletes down to raw beginners can be catered for.

Chris Near (one of the Country’s leading fellrunners and winner of the A class of the Highlander in 2007 and 2008) reckons: “The Highlander is without doubt the best UK Mountain Marathon. It is a fantastic event in some of the best mountain scenery that Britain has to offer, and is unique in that it offers competitors a real highland experience (marquee with ceilidh band, hot food and beer at the overnight camp).”
