The GREAT KINDROCHIT QUADRATHLON (The Quad)is an exhilarating test of
stamina, strength and fitness through some of the most spectacular and
historic areas of the Highland Perthshire. It will be a weekend you
will never forget! It is an event for
Teams of Two
, who complete all disciplines (of whichever route they opt for)
together.
There will be three different route options to choose from: Gold,
Silver and Bronze. So there this something for everyone!
The Gold
Route: s tart 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.
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 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). We will take you to the North side by boat.
The Quad is an event for those who relish the challenge of a one-day
endurance test. The event is designed to be accessible to people of
all abilities, from more experienced athletes who want to push
themselves to the limit to those who wish to set themselves a new
challenge and improve their fitness. But make no mistake this will be
a serious challenge and will test your fitness, robustness and
resilience to the limit. It is an event for
Teams of Two
, who complete all disciplines (of whichever route they opt for)
together.
