Sea KayakingThe sea kayaking in the Hebridean Challenge is a serious undertaking and anyone planning on kayaking at any stage of the race should be qualified to at least BCU 3* (sea) standard. More about sea kayaking |

Road BikingThe Outer Hebrides is a wild place with very few trails, but those it has are fabulous, and we try and make the best of them in the race. More about road biking |

Mountain BikingRoad biking is fairly unusual discipline in an adventure race, but it is an intrinsic part of the Heb. The roads in the Hebrides are relatively free from traffic and there are always great views, so the riding is terrific. More about mountain biking |

SwimmingEach day of the race there is at least one swimming section of up to 800 m, which can be in the sea or a loch. Generally, competitors seem to find the swims extremely exhilarating even (or maybe especially) if they don't have a swimming background. More about swimming |
