THE BORDER.200 — The Longest Challenge in the GrALBA Series
Welcome to THE BORDER.200, a true test of endurance and adventure — the crown jewel of Muck n Mac Fest and the longest challenge in the GrALBA Series. This epic 200 km route weaves through the heart of the Scottish Borders and the breathtaking Tweed Valley, rising over 3,500 m in elevation and showcasing some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery.
This is not a route for the faint-hearted — it’s designed for those who crave long days in the hills, technical terrain, and the satisfaction of overcoming something truly monumental. Expect rolling moorland, twisting riverside trails, sweeping glens, and sweeping views that make every hard-earned metre worthwhile.
Dare to take it on?
Push your limits, explore iconic terrain, and be part of something legendary. Sign up today and be ready for the ultimate Scottish Borders experience.
Ride Format
07:00 – Male Start
07:05 - Female Start
A short, staggered start helps manage early-route flow while allowing each field a clear and fair run onto the course. Once underway, riders face the full 200 km route and 3,500 m of elevation, navigating long climbs, remote trails, and fast valley sections through the Scottish Borders and Tweed Valley.
This is a self-supported endurance challenge within a festival setting — ride smart, respect fellow competitors, and settle in for a long day on the bike.
