Getting Here
The 926 Citylink bus runs from Glasgow 5 times a day (with the midday one calling at Glasgow Airport) and offers lovely views of Loch Lomond, the Arrochar Alps and Kintyre. Booking is strongly recommended.
If you are driving and want to come by ferry, you have 3 options:
Ardrossan to Brodick then Lochranza to Claonaig with Calmac
Ardrossan to Campbeltown with Calmac
or Gourock to Hunter’s Quay with Western Ferries and Portavadie to Tarbert with Calmac.
Another option is to fly from Glasgow to Campbeltown.
We strongly recommend getting in touch with other competitors to share transport. racelifts.org enables you to offer or ask for lifts to races.
When the race runs from Tayinloan to Tarbert, we organise a bus from Tarbert to the start in Tayinloan. When the race runs from Tayinloan to Campbeltown, we organise a bus from Campbeltown to the start in Tayinloan. When the race runs from Machrihanish to Campbeltown, there is a service bus from Campbeltown.
Staying Here
We are pleased to be working with Tarbert Holiday Park in the north and Machrihanish Holiday Park in the south where you can choose from a wide variety of accommodation options. For those wishing to stay in Kintyre and surroundings, there is no particular place to look but a general internet search will provide plenty of information. Our sponsors at Torrisdale Castle have self catering accommodation.
