Sutherland Raid - A New Mountain Bike Experience

27th March 2007

Held over the May Bank Holiday weekend, the Sutherland Raid is a new mountain bike experience comprising of a combination of team and individual events, based around the new world class £0.5 million Highland Wildcat Trails facility at Golspie, in the Scottish Highlands.

Highland Wildcat is tipped as one of the most exciting and dynamic trail facilities on the Scottish MTB circuit, with the longest single track climb & descent in UK. The weekend’s core programme will feature a 50K cross-country circuit through Strath Brora and a relay over Ben Bhraggie to test both endurance and technical ability.

Alongside the main event there will be an under-16 programme with opportunities for all-abilities: enthusiasts, novices and family - to participate with a range of activities over both days.

Promising more than just a MTB Festival, the weekend will offer a great atmosphere with food, bands, entertainment and side shows, and is expected to attract visitors from far afield to take advantage of the long weekend and enjoy the wonderful scenery and attractions of Sutherland.
