🚨 PAIR-ANORMAL ACTIVITY! 🚨

There are only 4 PAIRS PLACES LEFT for the 2027 Strathpuffer! 😱🚵‍♀️

That’s right. Just FOUR. Less time than it takes to find your other glove, charge your lights and question your life choices. 😂

Fancy 24 hours of winter riding, 17 hours of darkness and the kind of memories that make you forget how cold your toes were? 🌙❄️

👉 Grab your place before they’re gone!

Once they’re gone, they’re gone. No amount of haggis bribery will help. 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

📅 16–17 January 2027
🔗 Get your entry in NOW!
Don’t panic quads still available if you miss out!

Don’t Get Left in the Dark at Strathpuffer 2027! 🔦🚵‍♂️
Strathpuffer 2027 is coming. The bikes will be muddy, the legs will be questionable, and the Scottish winter night will be… well, very dark.

That’s where Exposure Lights come in.

Whether you’re planning to smash out the miles, survive until sunrise, or simply remember which way the trail went, hiring a proper Exposure light means you can see where you’re going — and be seen while doing it.

💡 Bright enough to light up the trails
🔋 Built for long winter nights
🚵‍♀️ Perfect for Strathpuffer’s legendary 24-hour challenge
💷 Hire it, ride it, return it — no need to buy a light you’ll only use once!

Because at Strathpuffer, the only thing scarier than the darkness is realising you left your lights at home.

Book your Exposure Light Hire for Strathpuffer 2027 and let there be light! Link in bio!

🚨 PUFFER PSA 🚨

Thinking about riding the Strathpuffer? 👀

🚴‍♂️ SOLOS ARE SOLD OUT — yep, the brave (or slightly unhinged) solo spots have gone!

BUT… PAIRS & QUADS ARE STILL IN! 🙌

And there’s another deadline creeping up…

⏰ EARLY BIRD PRICES END 31 AUGUST!

So grab your mates, form your dream team, argue over who’s doing the night laps 😂 and get yourselves signed up before the price goes up.

2 wheels. 24 hours. 1 big daft adventure. ❤️

Some posts are harder to write than others.

(See stories) Many of you may have seen today’s story about our 13-year-old son, Toby. Like so many of the young riders who come to Strathpuffer every year, he’s mountain bike mad. Last December, his world was turned upside down when he underwent pioneering surgery to remove a brain tumour.

As a family, we spent weeks living minute to minute. During that time, Crossbasket House became our basecamp. It gave us somewhere to rest, somewhere to regroup, and somewhere to stay close to Toby when that was all that mattered.

The kindness, compassion and support we received will stay with us forever.

That’s why Crossbasket House is Strathpuffer’s nominated charity this year. This isn’t just another charity partnership for us – it’s deeply personal.

If you’ve got a few minutes, we’d love you to read Toby’s story. We hope it shows just how important charities like Crossbasket House are for families facing the toughest days of their lives.

To everyone at Crossbasket House, thank you. And to the Strathpuffer community, thank you for always showing what this sport is really about—looking after each other.

🚨 SOLO RIDERS… THIS IS YOUR WAKE-UP CALL. 🚨

Only 5 solo places left.

That’s it. Five. You can count them on one (slightly muddy) hand. ✋

If you’ve been thinking, “I’ll enter tomorrow…” — tomorrow might be too late.

Stop faffing. Start entering.

👇 Grab your place before someone else beats you to it.

🚨 Well… this escalated quickly. 🚨

You’ve officially smashed it.

We’ve already got more entries than we had at this point last year. 🤯

Which means two things:
1️⃣ You’re all completely bonkers.
2️⃣ January in the Highlands is going to be epic.

🙋 Hands up if you’re in!

🆕 Drop a 🚵 if this is your first-ever Strathpuffer.

🌍 Drop a 📍 and tell us where you’re travelling from – who’s coming the furthest?

💪 Drop a 🔥 if you’re counting down the days already.

⚠️ Solo riders… there are only a handful of places left. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, it’s time to get off it. Fast.

See you on the start line… where the lights are bright, the cake is plentiful, and sensible decisions are nowhere to be found.
