You follow the West Highland Way for 95 miles, from Milngavie railway station just north of Glasgow to Fort William. The start is in the early hours, and the way markers show the route. Checkpoints include Balmaha, Rowardennan, Tyndrum, Glencoe and Kinlochleven, most with their own cut-off, and the overall limit is 35 hours. Cut-offs are applied to the second, and you must leave each checkpoint before the sweep team. The field is capped at 300, and places go by ballot rather than first come, first served.
