The Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon 2025
Saturday 5 July
What a fantastic day was had by all - in VERY challenging conditions
Well done and congratulations to all who took part and completed the 'Epic Quadrathlon'
The Gold Route: Start at Ardtalnaig shore on the south side of Loch Tay and swim 0.8 mile, then walk/run 15 miles over seven Munros in the Ben Lawers range (Meall Greigh, Meall Garbh, An Stuc, Ben Lawers, Beinn Ghlas, Meall Corranaich and Meall Nan Tarmachan), then kayak 7 miles from Loch Tay Highland Lodges back to Ardtalnaig, before jumping on your bike and cycling 34 miles round Loch Tay. The start time will be 6:00am or 7:00am. We will allocate your team a start time.
The Silver Route will be the same as the Gold route, except that you will come off the hill section after Munro 6 and will not have to ascend back up to Meall nan Tarmachan. That killer re-ascent is what most previous Quadrathletes found ultra hard. By choosing the Silver Route, you will come down off the hill and won’t have to go back up; saving yourself about 7km (4 miles) of distance and 600m (2000ft) of ascent. The start time for participants doing the Silver Route is 7:00am.
The Bronze Route is a triathlon – there will be no swim section and the hill section will cover just 5 Munros – no Meall Corranaich or Meall nan Tarmachan to ascend. Just come off the hill after Beinn Ghlas and descend to the loch for the kayak section. That will save you about 8km (5 miles) and 730m (2400ft) of ascent! This route will start on the North side of Loch Tay, rather than at Kindrochit (Ardtalnaig). The start time is 8:00am from the South side shore at Kindrochit. We will take you to the North side by boat.
Ruskie Rural were based at Killin Hall and handed out delicious pizzas from the The Secret Pizza Killin and warm sausage rolls etc etc ..............and lots of support and encouragement
