SHPF X-Scotia 2025
May 24 - May 25
The SHPF X-Scotia is a Hike & Fly paragliding race in Scotland. The 2025 event will take place 24th-25th May.
A backup weekend, in case of inclement weather, is scheduled for the following week (31st May-1st June)
For the first time in 2025, two races will be held: the classic two-day ‘Hardcore’ event, running Saturday-Sunday, and a new one-day event on the Saturday only.
Both races will follow the same ‘points for peaks’ format as in previous years – competitors aim to tag as many peaks as possible, on foot or in the air. Different peaks carry different point values according to their difficulty and distance from the event base.
Both races will begin on the Saturday morning (start time confirmed at race briefing, typically 8am). For the one-day event, competitors must return to the central event base camp before the designated cutoff in the evening (again confirmed at briefing; likely 8pm).
