More than a race. A weekend to remember.
Outsider Events is an Edinburgh-based events company driven by a simple idea: creating outdoor experiences that we would genuinely want to be part of.
We focus primarily on trail running and cycling, but what really matters to us is what happens beyond the finish line. We believe there’s more to an event than pinning on a number, racing full throttle, and heading home.
Our approach is about inclusive experiences that bring people together racers, friends, families, and supporters alike. We build events that encourage:
01
Our events are designed to bring people together. From shared start lines to conversations after the finish, it’s about meeting like-minded people and feeling part of something bigger than the race itself.
02
Every route is an experience to be lived, not just completed. Big climbs, changing weather, and unforgettable scenery create moments that runners share — stories that are talked about long after the weekend ends.
03
We believe the best events are built around people, not podiums. Whether you’re racing, supporting, volunteering, or spectating, everyone plays a part in creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
04
Being outside should feel good. Our events celebrate time spent on trails, in wild places, and under open skies where the joy of movement and nature matters just as much as performance.
Outsider Events creates bold, inclusive trail running and gravel cycling experiences that go beyond the finish line. From the British Gravel Championships to Grinduro Scotland and the South Scotland Outdoor Festival, we bring together world-class racing, social adventure and festival energy in some of the UK’s most inspiring landscapes.
Our events are designed for everyone, from first-timers to elite athletes. We blend challenge, community and celebration through live music, great food and shared outdoor experiences.
It’s not just about competing, it’s about connecting, exploring and enjoying the journey together.
