about the raid

Mu na Raidean

Highland Wildcat is a purpose-built mountain bike course set in magnificent Highland scenery some 50 miles north of Inverness. Featuring both the longest singletrack climb and descent in the UK together with low level family trails - it is a cycling destination not to be missed.

The 2009 event will be similar to the 12 hour "Dawn Raid" of 2008 and is plannned for the weekend of 20th/21st June.  Credit Crunch issues have left us short of funders but, by rationalising the sideshow and focussing on the main event, we hope that it will continue to attract increasing numbers of participants.  The marketing and organisation has been handed over to the Strathpuffer Team to enhance the profile of the event and ensure our event management is both efficient and experienced. 

We hope to have local caterers providing soup and basic snacks but please come well prepared and equipped to look after your own interests and success!  Plenty space for camping and parking beside the transition point so looking forward to a good atmosphere and plenty of "craik" beside the log candles

Entry £28 inclusive of weekend trail pass, camping area and parking.  One set of fully charged lights should be sufficient as the night is short! The route will all be on the Highland Wildcat trails inside the forest.

Prizes for various categories.
