Donate:   justgiving.com/campaign/hitthehebrides

Leon Trayling, co-owner of ishga, is picking up HIT’s Last Man Standing baton with a challenge to  HIT the Hebrides. From 29th April to 1st May 2025, Leon will cycle 185 gruelling miles from Barra to Lewis, taking on rugged terrain, steep climbs, and whatever the unpredictable Hebridean weather throws his way.

It’s going to be tough – but every mile will help raise vital funds for HIT Scotland, empowering the next generation of talent in Scottish hospitality.

This is where you come in! You can sign up for the virtual challenge – either as an individual or part of a team. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get active for a great cause. Run, walk, or cycle together and make every mile count, no matter where you are!

If you would like to register or find out more about the virtual challenge email events@hitscotland.co.uk

We appreciate this is a tough challenge and not everyone can take part but you can still support HIT Scotland by visiting justgiving.com/campaign/hitthehebrides to make a donation. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a big impact on the hospitality industry in Scotland.

Together, we can HIT the Hebrides and support the future of hospitality!
