Bealach Na Ba Sportive — 2026 Edition

The Bealach Na Ba Sportive — 2026 Edition is a one-day cyclosportive taking place in Shieldaig, Scotland, on Saturday 16 May 2026. Organised by the Shieldaig Community Association, the event is presented as an annual fundraiser for the local community and has been run in the area since 2006. The edition is listed on the event organiser's pages and is promoted as a scenic but challenging ride on Highland roads.

The route is advertised as approximately 45 miles and includes the fabled Bealach Na Ba mountain pass, described on the organiser page as a rise to 626 m and roughly 9 km in length. The climb section is run on closed roads and is a defining feature of the sportive, making the ascent the focal challenge for participants. The event typically attracts around 400 cyclists and emphasises community fundraising and the iconic Highland scenery.
