History
Cairngorm to Coast (aka C2C) is a 100km hike and bike challenge event which takes place against the backdrop of Moray and Highlands’ most amazing scenery. Created in 2015, the event is split 30km/70km, and takes you from the heights of the Highlands to the coast of Moray; running through Cairngorms National Park and Abernethy Nature Reserve, and along parts of the Speyside Way and the entire Dava Way making it the area’s most beautiful, but gruelling duathlon.
Participant Information

Fundraising
C2C is Outit Moray’s biggest fundraising event of the year and raises vital funds to support one of our Trainee Scholarships which costs £15,000 to £20,000 so, as an incentive, we have lower entry rates for those who raise funds for us. To help you raise your sponsorship, we have a fundraising page full of great hints and tips, and a sponsorship form for any local sponsors.
Event t-shirt
There will be an option to purchase an event t-shirt during sign up. These are made from 100% recycled material and supplied by Creative Sign and Print in Inverness.
FAQs
Hopefully these C2C FAQs will help you with any queries you may have, but if they don’t please get in touch with Karen Cox.
C2C Bike Hire
To help with travelling etc, there is the option to add gravel or mountain bike hire to your booking which has the added bonus of leaving us to clean your bike at the end of the day while you relax and recover!
