Have you ever hiked 54 miles in under 24 hours? We headed to the Scottish Highlands for the 2023 Cateran Yomp to test our mental and physical fortitude. It's a yearly event for a great cause.
See below for details.
In this video, we record our hike from the Checkpoint 3 (Silver) to the Finish Line (Gold), for a total of 18 miles. It was dark for the majority of the hike, but we managed to capture some good footage along the last leg of the 54 mile Cateran Yomp Trail.
Be sure to check out Part I, Part II, and III.

The Cateran Yomp, the Allied Forces Foundation signature event, is a multi-day trip that is centered on a Yomp in the Scottish Highlands. YOMP, a British term for a long-distance march carrying full kit, is an endurance event that challenges team members to complete 22, 36.5, or 54 miles across harsh terrain in only 24 hours. This mission offers a type of challenge that many of the AFF Veterans have not experienced since combat. Participating in the Yomp restores self-confidence and provides enhanced motivation for recovery and rehabilitation. Uniting with other wounded, ill, or injured Veterans during the Yomp builds relationships that foster support, encouragement, and empowerment. The lengthy event provides the chance to share stories and advice as they fight together for recovery. Veterans from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and United States will participate side by side with their British counterparts, known collectively as Team AFF. In addition to the Yomp, Team AFF enjoys cultural visits whilst in Scotland, as well as the fun of learning the skills needed to enter a Highland Games.
If you are a wounded, ill, or injured service person or veteran, interested in becoming a participant with Team AFF, please contact cy@alliedforcesfoundation.org
