The Martin Currie Rob Roy Challenge is an
exciting team-building event. Participants can enjoy the spectacular
scenery of one of Scotland's finest long distance routes while raising money for
three superb charities.
The event covers 55 miles of the spectacular Rob Roy Way by a
combination of walking and cycling. On completion of the event at Kenmore on
Saturday evening, teams will be hosted with a sumptuous feast and party, and a
range of highland activities. This will be followed by camping on the stunning
banks of Loch Tay or accommodation in nearby hotels. A special breakfast will be
served on Sunday before teams depart for home.
We have three medal stages including relay options for all participants.
 |
Teams or individuals completing and stopping at Balquhidder (27 miles) will
receive a Bronze medal; |
 |
Those reaching Killin (38 miles) will earn a Silver medal;
and |
 |
Those completing the entire 55 mile course will earn
Gold. |
Each team should be supported by a vehicle that will meet participants at the
designated checkpoints.
There are a number of excellent events available to companies and
organisations. So why should you choose the Martin Currie Rob Roy Challenge as
your charity team-building event for 2009? In short, we believe we give you ...

Our main checkpoint at Callander will be based at Wheels Cycles
where walkers will transfer to bicycles. Participants will have the option of
hiring a bicycle for £40, which will be issued on arrival at Callander.
Alternatively, team members can bring their own bikes, carried by their support
vehicle.
Please indicate clearly on the main registration form if you wish to hire a
bicycle and add an additional £40 on top of the registration fee. Hired bicycles
will be picked up and returned to Wheels by the organisers.
